> Sid,
> I am definitely afraid of being branded. Psychiatrists all know when someone suffers from something, and it does get around. I know it seems vain fo rme to worry. I dont think Im better than anyone else, I just love this career and want to be able to help others without being doubted by patients and co-workers. I am capable of doin gmy job, and want desperately to keep my life together.I had a job in mental health in a place my psychiatrist was affiliated with.(I'm not a dr though). I found myself attending a couple of presentations he was also at. THAT was a bit uncomfortable.
It doesn't sound vain to me.
In fact I relate to it in some ways.
I hope you figure it out and find a way to get help that doesn't add to your stress.
be well,
sid
