Still feel like an impostor after 14 years in the business

Currently an SMTS at Salesforce. Been doing software engineering, mostly front end, for the past 14 years.
I feel like I’m nowhere near where I should be skill-wise. Every project I’m on, I feel like I’m in over my head.
How do I get out of this rut? I have serious fears that I won’t make it to retirement in this job.

What’s worse is not achieving what you can for fear of feeling like a phony. Basically, letting that fear hold you back.
Also, therapy and beta blockers help with anxiety. I take a very low dose (10mg) a couple times a day, but they’re safe and not habit forming like benzodiazepine. Talk to your doc
