School stress is tough. There's all these expectations you have of yourself, and so much pressure you think others are putting on you.
You just have to break it up into two levels. Classes you like; ones that are actually *teaching* you things you need, and classes that are required, ones you don't care about but need to get done for the degree, grumbling your way through it. In other words, separate out the bullshit from the gold, and I think it might help clarify things a little. You know you have what it takes, now you just have to deal with the nonsense college courses.
You simply would be incapable of doing a good job if you didn't question your abilities. The trick is not to be trapped by the question and realize you are improving through your efforts.

And I've always liked the word incubus...

I just completed an assignment wherein I typed up a transcript of an entire session with my prison client and had to analyze it. Thoroughly.
After doing that...I feel like I suck and am questioning my abilities. :P
