> Haha... well he won't notice if he doesn't know it's what I'm thinking! I'm not quite sure what a full physical entails, since I haven't had one in years, normally just for sports. You'd hope that whenever you have a patient with anxiety, you would ask about depression, especially since I had a major episode last fall, but he didn't when I was there a couple of weeks ago. At this point I'm just trying to learn the material to pass the exams (this doesn't mean that I don't know much, passing standards are verrrry high!). I have no desire to work or treat patients. This bothers me. I am overwhelmed by the material, but am smart enough to learn it. I'm just lacking confidence, desire, and plagued by constant worry or unhappy thoughts about the whole experience. I try to put on the happy face, but it's fading quickly and becoming noticeable. I know I have the right personality to do this, just need to be in the right place emotionally.
You sound like I do when I am not in remission. I bet you anything if you were treated appropriately you would feel so much better about the whole experience. And if you still didn't want to treat patients, there is always teaching and research. That's what I would want to do, research. Not so many pesky people to interact with that way.
