I finished my masters and started working as a psychologist at a hospital by the beginning of last year. Everything you say resonates so so much with me. Without going too much in detail, I reached a breaking point after only about five month and I quit that job. My self-confidence was so so destroyed after the experience, especially because I was so inexperienced and new at this. I was told that my collegues thought I was not cut out to be a psychologist / therapist and I genuinely believed it and thought about changing careers completely. Friends of mine encouraged me though to try it again at a different hospital. One advice that especially stuck with me was "Well, it's a pretty big decision to change careers. So you want it to be a well informed decision. And for this you need to make sure whether it was you or that workplace specifically. So try it again somewhere else. If it goes wrong again, then maybe think again about the career change. But maybe it goes right this time." So I started at a different hospital in January of this year and WOW, IT ACTUALLY CAN BE DIFFERENT! I think it was mainly a different atmosphere there, I felt like I had much more space to breathe, and I caught myself thinking all the time "Seeee, this is how this should be.". I still catch myself ruminating about my old job once in a while, playing some hurtful moments in my head, but I feel how I'm really recovering, feeling better week by week, and building my professional confidence back.

I believe I have trauma or PTSD after being my mother's caregiver for 5 years because she had dementia. She died almost 2 years ago and the regret and guilt I still feel has left me suicidal and doing self harm almost daily

I work at an addictions clinic, and I sit right beside our social worker, you guys really do amazing work, and I can't believe just how demanding your job is. The amount of traumatic events you have to work with, the terrible situations you have to witness on a daily basis as well. I hope your recovery goes well!

I had my first code blue on my literal first day as a nurse and that experience has stuck with me since. For a long time, I was basically just always expecting the worst, and like you said, always hypervigilant.

@@keninomaru oh gosh, that is really bad luck for a first day 🙃 I had a code blue every week in my first month, which made me think that that was normal 🫠 thank you so much for your kind words. I also really admire the work you do as a nurse in an addictions clinic, that is certainly not a job for the faint of heart!

That bad feeling is written on the ROAD. So drive back and forth and walk.. and you´ll see. It´s engineered there. For you to feel bad to go to work. So. No need to thank me. t. Prophet
