I'm sorry that you are struggling Rose

Is there any way you can get therapy?? Even just someone to vent to IRL is better than no therapy at all. I have a CPN (community psychiatric nurse) so not a 'traditional' therapist but he's really good. He 'gets' where I'm coming from while my pdoc doesn't have a clue (and isn't interested in finding out)!

Unfortunately it's my experience that there is a very big dividing line between those who WANT to practise psychiatry and those who HAVE to do it (because they can't get another specialty and psych is less competitive). Unfortunately I even know people who have gone into psych because they can't 'hack' another specialty. It's very sad. This is why we end up with pdocs with crap communication skills who don't give a damn, when we truly need it the most.

All the best Rose
