Oh, I'm so happy for you! I've always enjoyed your posts, and I'm glad you now have more time to dwell on other thoughts, rather than exams. It seems you get down on yourself at times, and I hope this gives you a boost of confidence.
Thank you.
I was certainly in a pretty bad place, the combination of stress from work, interminable exams and my relationship falling apart was leaving me feel like a shallow husk of a person. But at least my grinding paid off, I built back up and better. You'd think bring "just" a doctor would be good enough for your self esteem, but in most places, you're not going to get much in the way of respect from other doctors unless you've gone through the other hoops (flaming and spinning) needed to become a resident and then specialized. And I stand on the shoulder of giants in my own family, so it's good to see them actually fucking proud of me (not that they weren't, but now I've done something properly impressive). It was all a lot to take in, but I haven't been this genuinely happy and optimistic in a while, for all that I grumble about the UK at times haha.
I'm glad you liked my posts, you can certainly expect even more hot takes on psychiatry, and they'll be better informed to boot.
And once again, thank you. Pseudonymous strangers on the internet have done a lot for me, and I'm glad that I haven't disappointed them either haha.
