Hey all,
I matched! Going to a site that will be a great fit for me next year.
Right now though, I feel pretty burnt out. I think this is for a variety of reasons. I'm at a pretty dysfunctional prac site this year, toxic workplace culture, abusive supervisor, unable to do the type of treatment I find fulfilling, etc. I've tried to figure out how to get out of the site, but after trying to and being told/realizing it could cause problems for me, I've decided the best course of action is to just stick it out...I only have to be at the site through June. I'm trying to finish my dissertation before I leave. There's been other stressors, including my love life (single, and been unable to sustain a relationship).
But right now, I'm not really happy with who I am. I am unmotivated, often feeling depressed. I find that I feel easily overwhelmed, and when someone places a demand on me, my reaction is to feel angry.
I consider myself to be a pretty laid-back, easygoing person, so feeling this way is new and surprising to me. Can anyone else relate to this? How did you cope? Did it pass? Suggestions? I have a meditation practice that I'm trying to make sure I keep up with right now especially. I would love to take some time off to get my bearings, but that's not really an option right now.
