M26, worked at a high volume orthopedic clinic for 3 years and quit due to burnout. I’ve attempted to return to healthcare but end up quitting after a week. I’m not sure if something permanently changed, but I hate the patients and hate even the thought of having to care for them when I can’t even take care of myself. Is there anything I can do with my degree and current experience that wouldn’t be patient facing or am I screwed? Note: yes I’ve been in therapy and on medication and they are not the answer to this problem.

M26, mom passed away 3 years ago and the grief has gotten worse. I’ve been in therapy, on medication, and it still hasn’t gotten better. Nightmares have increased, panic attacks have increased, and depression has increasingly gotten worse to the point I’m unemployed. I am barely hanging on and I’m not sure what to do.

M26, I have been in therapy on and off since I was 19 and it absolutely sucks. I dread the days I have therapy and have cancelled it all together. I have done every form of therapy and things still haven’t helped my panic attacks or severe depression. Just venting and wanting to let people know therapy does not work for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you switch therapists, switch the type of therapy, or how often you go. It has had no impact and has worsened my depression.
