10 years in small startups, and I start a FAANG level position on Monday.

You will be OK. Surviving for so long in startups makes you basically superhuman.

You seem to have self esteem issues.

I have 6 years experience in only startups and I think of myself more valuable than FAANG devs.

Try running. Best thing to leave anxiety panting behind. Your body literally evolved anxiety to allow you to run away from a threat like a saber tooth tiger or wolves or a larger pack of enemies. Give the body what it wants in a modernity-compatible setting (like a gym or a park)
