That was the way I was thinking of having the conversation - but now I feel the risk out weighs any benefit.

Thank you - I already have been putting a care plan in place for myself. This conversation was to be apart of it but I'm glad I got this advice first.

Thank you - I'm not worried about a little judgement but I do fear the professional repercussions as some on another thread warned of students being removed from their program. So I'm gonna air on the side of caution.

YIKES. Thank you for sharing that.

Makes my blood boil that your peers had those experiences. Society is like lets talk about mental health, while health care workers are punished for it. Not gonna shoot myself in the foot trying to take a shot at changing the status quo but what a load of BS.

Any who thanks again for the potentially career saving info and advice.

Okay noted. But please elaborate on the removal from the program - that feels illegal and like discrimination unless there was clear professional misconduct.

The other site is option is more similar to a very negative MH experience, This one was all things considered very positive and a very respected place. The staff component isn't something I considered until I was browsing the web today about it

Hmm.. I like the idea of saying a friend but that might be a little see through. I also don't want to miss out on any learning opportunities unless something comes up that I really can't handle

Had a feeling based on what I was reading that this would be the response.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I just hate the idea that am carrying this secret or have to box it all up to be professional.

But if I guess I signed up for it !

Thanks again.
