    je me suis senti<b>e</b> inadéquate...
(assuming Megan is a feminine name).
Can you review the tenses you have learned and see which one works best for
"parce que je n'ai.."?

    This ("plus-que-parfait") sounds OK to me.  
I hope you chose it based on some logical thinking and not a wild guess.
When looking for tenses, consider the time line:
(Past)->had not acquired->felt inadequate->(present)
