You deal with a lot of sickness and pain everyday!. You probably feel abandoned because of your current circumstances!. Try to develop a social network outside of your family!. Pick up a hobby that will allow you to meet other people!. I'd also go see a professional, you need to talk out your feelings and find out what is stopping you from taking care of yourself correctly!. I'm sure it's probably a pretty normal problem for people in your field!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Nobody is immune to any conditions or diseases - even ones of the mind and emotions!. Talk to a colleague you trust or a family member - but talk about it!. Don't bury it or hide it away like your patients who let themselves get very sick because they can't stand the thought of having a blood sample drawn!.
Just do it! Don't think about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Doctor, heal thyself!. The solution is obvious, talk to one of your psychiatrist colleagues!.The situation could worsen without professional help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
~~ My husband had the same problem!. Now I'm a widow!. ~~Www@QuestionHome@Com
You recognize that this is not healthy and that is the first step!. Unfortunately, in my family, the men are all like you!. They neglect their health!. They only concetrate on their work and do not like to see a doctor or submit to tests!. My mother would make my father go to the doctor but, with my brother, there is no wife to push him!.
You MUST go because you know, logically, that many conditions can be cured or controlled if discovered early enough!.
If you love your son, you will go for his sake!. He deserves to have you in his life!. By discovering that you have diabetes or whatever, you can help guide HIM in making good decisions about his life!.
See a psychiatrist if necessary!. You must seek help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
