I'm a doctor.
I also happen to have experienced mental illness.
For too long, I carried this secret with shame,
Silenced by stigma.
Today is #CrazySocs4Docs Day.
A day to remember those we have lost & start conversations about mental health in healthcare.
Show me your socks!

She was in her 40s.
A resident doctor.
Older than all her peers, she was different.
She was the one who left on time and didn't bend over backwards to do more.
Eyes rolled.
People tutted.
She wasn't committed.
She lacked dedication.
Then I became that woman.

When we're caught up in the daily grind of work,
It's easy to overlook the tiny yet beautiful things.
How had I not noticed this appear in my garden?

I set out to be a clinical doctor forever.
Then life happened.
I left medicine and, with that, felt completely lost.
I have now found my way again,
Navigating a path less trodden,
But no less fulfilling.
Careers are not linear.

I was a doctor.
Then I became a patient.
A mental health patient.
Join me as I discuss the stigma, shame and guilt of being unwell as a doctor
And the hope that cones with recovery.

Today was my last day at RCPCH.
The end of another chapter in my very 'alternative' medical career.
There's more than one way to be a doctor,
You just have to be willing to take a risk or two.

So I did nothing.

Exactly 2 years ago,
I found the courage to join a choir.
I've made friends,
Reconnected with a hobby I loved as a child,
And embraced my love of musicals.
Today we started an 11 minute Wicked medley.
Amazing! 🎵
