Feel like an imposter

Discussion

Throwaway because I feel like an idiot.

I’ve been a “designer” for about 5 years now. Mostly using Rise, storyline here and there for bigger projects.

My job put me in a sub department where everything is agile and I’m expected to push out micro storyline courses in 4 days tops.

I’m fucking drowning.

I can’t do ANYTHING right. Every single project comes back with so many edits and things I can’t seem to fix. It’s something stupid like the next button won’t fire after clicking a button on a layer. The next button won’t stay open after revisiting. I can’t figure out variables. I work on something so long I get confused and want to cry.

I’m so desperate I’ve started using copilot to help me. I’ve asked colleagues for help but I’m wondering if they are tired of helping me. I feel so stupid every single day and I don’t know what to do but I absolutely hate programming, I want to just quit at this point. I’ve told my boss to give me my old work back but she won’t do it. So now every day is a struggle and I work nights to fix these stupid errors.

Does anyone have advice before I go off the deep end?
