So now me and my T have the same job. It's weird. I will begin seeing patients tomorrow. There is no shortage. I carry a caseload of over 120.
Emotionally, I am not at my best. Not even close. However, when I am at work there is a great change in me, just as there was when I was at my internship. I graduated yesterday and was quite overwhelmed with emotion as we came down the hill of my school in the graduate procession. I could not believe that after all I have gone through-- sitting in class looking at the board through tears stuck in my eyes, fighting through a deep depressions, writing papers through depressions and medication side effects so bad that I was unable to focus-- all of the emotional hardships-- and there I was, about to receive my Masters Degree. This was my moment. I took it all in. I looked over at the doctoral students and thought about how that would be me in another 5 or 6 years. I have to keep fighting. |

Congrats! I'm jealous. My graduation (commencement) was two weeks ago, and I didn't go. But I don't actually finish until November.
Nobody ever wants to answer how many clients are on a caseload. Still 120 sounds really high. I hope you will keep telling us about it. I'd like to know how you keep that many clients straight. Have you met them all yet?

Best wishes for a long and fulfilling career. Believe me things will look much different at 46 than at 26. Just keep making slow and steady progress and you will see the personal as well as professional results throughout your life.

Congratulations, on finishing your masters. That's really awesome. And I'm sure that you'll make a great T - you come accross as really compassionate and sensible here, so I'm sure you will be IRL too. I know you have the summer off before beginning doctoral studies so try to enjoy them. And good luck with your future studies. ---splitimage
