The best advice I can give you is what I wish I could have told myself over the last decade: your expectations of yourself are higher than anyone can reasonably expect of you, be very cautious of burnout, counter any self doubt with the knowledge that your talent is already seen and proven, and rest.
You're already qualified to do the work or you wouldn’t be recognized for it. You don’t need to do more. Getting a promotion is a formal acknowledgment of work you already do! This is your chance to be rewarded for it and relax.
Congratulations, also, are in order. It’s really tough for us to thrive with this kind of anxiety and pressure. Reward yourself. Take a vacation if it helps. And keep doing the things you’ve found rewarding and successful.
