Does anybody else wonder when it all goes to shit?

I don't know if this is a feeling I'm having alone but does anyone else wonder when everything will go to shit? I did well enough in high school prepping for tests and at school to be able to land a full-ride scholarship to a target school. Since I've gotten into college I've continued to perform well, got on the dean's list, kept my grades up and have genuinely learned a lot from my classes. During my freshman year I landed an IBD internship at a BB and I've recently accepted an offer for an EB IBD internship.


Everything has gone my way and everything has gone well, granted it's been a fair share of hard work and an even fairer share of luck, but sometimes I just have a dreading feeling of when will this all go away? When does my lucky streak end and when do I eat shit? I don't know if this is something any of guys are also feeling so I thought I would put it out there - any tips on how to manage this would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Anticaptory anxiety, I guess. I'm like you but I've actually had to eat shit by way of close shaves with death and the like. My worries revolve around health, family losses and jeopardizing my career somehow. The only way I can rationalize why the brain experiences this is so you feel like you've already been through half the stress.

Wish I knew how to fix it, though routines that are intense enough to distract you certainly help. I’m 24 and I’d say it started at around age 21.
