Hi everyone. I want to get better at forgiving myself. I am a new psychiatrist and I feel very badly when I don't perform well or do something which I later think showed poor judgment. I prescribed a stimulant yesterday for ADHD without really doing a thorough evaluation or thought process and I feel bad like it may have been reckless. I was having a really rough day because I had just broken up with my boyfriend the night before so I didn't have my right mind on me. The relationship has been dragging on and it has been pretty toxic. We broke up in April and we had still been talking and actually got back together last month. I feel really badly for the mistake of being with him because I feel it chipped away at my self esteem and confidence and now I feel like a mess emotionally. I have a hard time forgiving myself for putting up with the relationship as long as I did. I feel a stronger woman would have not been with him in the first place or ended it much sooner.
