Yes I’m actually on FMLA for this exact thing right now. It’s not something to mess around with. I have never had plans/intent but have had thoughts constantly recently. Take care of yourself first. I can tell you from personal experience it’s worth it. Be honest with yourself and your therapist.

Legitimately asking - is this not normal? I wouldn’t say it’s frequent, but I do have thoughts about what would happen if I got hit by a bus. Sometimes those thoughts turn into thinking about what would happen if I ended it myself. I always thought that was just a normal part of life - you may get depressed and think about these things, but you get better eventually.

For those of you that said yes—is there a sense of intent when you have those thoughts? I feel like I think about it pretty frequently, especially this time of year. But it’s always a very detached kind of thinking, I never have any desire or wish for it to happen. Is that still worth exploring with my therapist? I’ve been dismissing it all as intrusive thoughts.

For a long time I never really thought about how I would do it - and they day I did it scared the crap out of me and I called my therapist immediately. I have since made sure to spend some time in meditation and practicing mindfulness to stay in tune with my feelings and connected with body and mind. It makes a huge difference for me because I am starting to really understand certain feelings and issues as they come up and the triggers.

Yes and that is one of the most important things to discuss with them. It’s not easy, but doing so has helped me deal with really intense emotions and actually helped me not make an attempt at it too. It was hard for me to admit it to them, but now I’m working through a lot of the issues that triggered it in the first place.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

What would you do if a coworker returned to the office 5 days after testing positive and did not wear a mask in the common area their second day back? Still within the 10 mask period per CDC. Office policy is to adhere to current CDC guidelines. The coworker moved to the back of the room approximately 7 feet away and laughed about it with the only other unvaccinated coworker. Coworker who tested positive also has a history of believing in conspiracy theories about Covid and the election.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
