I knew entering the field would be difficult with my anxiety but I never realized just how overwhelming it would be. Vets with mental illnesses, how do you cope?

just because we're medical professionals that doesn't mean we don't also need help from other qualified experts. I've come to enjoy going to the therapist and look forward to my weekly sessions

The most important thing is that you are aware of your problem, I recommend you seek professional help to treat the problem accordingly and you can perform your work without problems.

Never dealt with your anxiety before? I think we all have some problems that we can go on with, but if it becomes too overwhelming it is not advisable to do it without help

I'm another vote for therapy. It's something almost everyone can benefit from, especially those of us juggling demanding jobs and mental health issues.

Hello,

I feel burned out working 14/15 hours a day and only getting paid for 10hrs. With no motivation to go to work, my mental health it’s not where it needs to be because there’s always so much drama in my work place.

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?
