I went to medschool but decided to leave just before my final exams, both because of my health and because I didn't want to be a doctor anymore. I was tired of being treated like crap!

I'm quite empathic with patients and easily identify with them, but I just couldn't cope with that at the time. I couldn't identify with the psych inpatients and remain cool like everything was fine with me. I kept thinking that I would end up locked up with them if anyone found out, and I am sooooooo scared of the psych hospital, so yes it was all just too triggering. I'm thinking that if I get better it will be less distressing, as I don't have to fear getting admitted. If that doesn't happen or I can't get over this fear, then that'll be another dream down the pan I guess
Anyway, I'm sorry for distracting the thread by going off topic
