What helped me with confidence was seeing errors in the big, widelly used software. You have software that milions of companies depend on everyday and there are rookie mistakes in it. And everything still works overall and everybody is happy? Bigger the company, the shittier software. So I know that what I do is above average as average bar is so low...

Take it one day at a time, fix bugs as and where you can, if you're able to do a little bit of refactoring with each release.
Above all make it fun, sneak easter eggs into the code. I personally have a bent of Gothic horror and frequently drop quotes and references to the Lovecraft universe into my projects which amuses and confuses others.
How do you guys deal with the anxiety of everything just going to shit? I keep having this feeling that my applications are held together by paper clips and chewing gum.
Not just my code, but the language, framework, compiler/interpreter, OS, and the hundreds of libs holding it all together. Like.. really? If this was a physical building, I would not want to live in it! haha
