When I was a medical student doing my psych attachment, I got through the suicide lectures and talking to suicidal patients by focusing on my job as a medstudent and not on my personal experiences (even though I was experiencing suicidal ideation during that time). I'm usually quite good at compartmentalising though. I hope you get through it Puzzclar

Have you got a T or Pdoc to talk to about this?
