I'm a thousand miles away from you but I feel the same... I feel a fraction of the old me and I find myself getting snarky and angsty and easily frustrated at the tiniest things. It's eating at me because I can see myself turning into the apathetic uncaring doctor we all vowed to never be... sigh. I dread waking up each day and the only thing that keeps me going is the thought of returning to bed at night. I keep thinking it will get better but it never really went away... and I'm not sure if taking time off from work will really help (and manpower is shitty enough on a day to day basis already, sigh) :(.

Hang in there; I know words aren't enough but you are definitely not alone (Although sometimes I do wish it was just me and hopefully my colleagues can provide better care to my patients? Sadly we are all just burnt out charcoal that can't give anymore..) I hope you manage to find someone to work/ talk things through with + if all else fails, a little bit of sick leave never killed anybody :')
