      I’m right there with you. i’m in healthcare too and it just hurts. We’ll get through it… but no guarantee that we’ll come out in one piece

      It’s not an easy time to be in so I totally understand. Learning to accept that there are just something that are out of our control is hard. It’s taken me a while to adjust my mindset to allow myself to feel less frustrated with that helplessness. It won’t be easy but the fact that you are facing everyday with your best intentions, I think that already proves how strong of a person you are, even if you don’t think you are. And your worries about hating being in medicine…perhaps think of the time when you first decided to pursue this path and asks yourself what gave you that spark? You’re not alone, so if you need any help, us Beanies are here.

          hahaha the legit origin story of my username…

          This is actually the username that I’ve used since the first time I made an account for something on the internet. At the time, my cousin who was helping me set up asked me to make up a name and I couldn’t think of anything. I glanced over to the jar of cookies next to us and just said “letseatcookies” hahahaha

      Take me with you to this alternate 2020. I can’t imagine being in medicine now. It must be incredibly draining.

      Totally with you, it’s a lot. And pandemics pass. This one will too. I keep having to remind myself.
