#psychiatry resident

[mashupofmylife]

I know some people might find it intrusive, but I really feel cared for and about when random people (who are not my mother) check in to see how I’m doing. I ran a complex psychopharm case by one of the consult staff and we spoke on the phone for about an hour, mostly about the case. But in the last few minutes, we talked about my orders and where I go next and I mentioned that there was some concern about impact on my health if I take my current orders.  After a slight pause, she asked how my health was, and then immediately followed with the disclaimer. So we briefly talked about where I am and my meds and she mentioned that she would be happy to do a pharm consult for me in the (apparently likely) chance that I’m not able to keep seeing my current psychiatrist. This woman is a psychopharm genius. I would be so so so interested in hearing her thoughts. 

#people actually do give a shit #people care about me even when they don't have to #i just have to remember that #i really love having zero boundaries with staff and coresidents #it just makes life a lot easier when other people can tell you the things you can't see in yourself #psych #psychiatry resident #psychiatry residence #medblr #mental health in residency

She’s fine, she’s just psychotic. Sometimes people are just psychotic and you have to deal with it.

#procrastination comics #karaii art #thus far my psychiatry residency has had 0 focus on psychology so i've been studying a little on my own time #somehow i ended up reading psychodynamic stuff #i avoided that like the plague when i was doing my psych undergrad but i figure i should at least give it a bit of a read #lest i sin in throwing out the baby with the bathwater etc etc #thus far the only thing that's really caught my interest is attachment theory and a bit of the concepts behind personality organization

this in home child mental health services program wants the gender clinic to record lectures so they can use them to train new clinicians, and I said I would do one, even though I now have to somehow find time (and more difficult, space) to record an hour long zoom thing in. but we’ll get paid to do it which is always a bonus because usually I only get paid if it’s a school training. and then I got another email with a schedule for the fall of these mental health meetings/trainings and my name signed up to teach on the september slot even though I’ve literally never been to one before and did not volunteer myself. but I guess I am now doing those as well. and next week is the american psychological association conference and my presentation is not ready.

not sure when my job became like 1/3 training psychologists and making powerpoints but at least the other 2/3 is telling people how to force their landlords to follow the law and explaining probate court forms.

#wait actually I trained some pediatric residents last month #but it is somewhat unfortunate that I have ended up on a heavily psych oriented team #because now I feel like it's too late to be like oh and I'm anti psychiatry by the way #but I am okay being paid to talk to clinical psychologists because I am poor #but I think your entire field is deeply flawed even though you individually are delightful #human crap sack tire fire

TW/CW Suicidal ideation

My psychiatrist: What things are you looking forward to that help combat your suicidal thoughts?

Me:

Psych: ... Anything else?

Me: Not really. I know some people think it's silly to care so much about them, but I figure if it keeps me around for one more day, that's what matters.

Psych: That's right. And I look forward to new shows, too. I'm glad you have that.

Me:

#tw suicidal ideation #tw suicidal thoughts #tw mental illness #tw mental health #tw psychiatry #tw police #i go to a teaching hospital so I get a new resident every few months. but this new one seems pretty solid #actually listens for more than 10 minutes. who knew? #personal #schizoaffective disorder #just trying to cope as best as I can

So I took some headshots for ERAS at the psychiatry national conference and boy, do I look like absolute crap. Prolonged sleep deprivation really destroyed my face aesthetics.
