Like I’m cursed. Had an interview yesterday that got cancelled because the person who was supposed to interview me got laid off along with a bunch of other people.

So sorry to hear that. That sucks big time

I started therapy few weeks ago for the first time in my life so good? But also it’s out of network and my insurance co wouldn’t tell me how much of the session’s bill would count in my deductible (what a concept by the way… u pay every month, but there’s this other amount you have to pay before we pay!) so I might be back to how I was feeling before therapy.

Sorry what was the question?

Ugh that is a lot! Insurance def sucks and it’s unfortunate taking care of your mental health comes with such challenges.

I think I'm doing alright this week. Work has been a bit tough as of late and we had some layoffs not too long ago so morale is still quite low around here. Home life is good, though, so at least I have that to look forward to as comfort after a long day at work. Not the worst shape I've been in, so there's that to be grateful for. How about you?

Thanks for sharing! I’m doing okay. Work def sucks but home life is going okay. My wife and I just had a baby so just adjusting to that and being on leave for a while helps.

However, I’m just exhausted, unmotivated, and and looking for a change. At this point (6.5 yrs of practice), is that type of transition even possible or am I stuck due to the practice area?

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially.

Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽
