I can't believe I am over 3 months into fellowship. Some days I feel like I'm still back at the beginning. I am humbled by how much faith patients and their families have in me. I also can't believe I'm looking for my first job out of training. It is surreal. I don't always feel like I'm ready to take that step. I worry that I am not good enough. I worry about how to choose my next job. What if I make a decision and then realize I want something else? What if I'm not ready?
I got to hear Patrick Kennedy talk today. He is a huge advocate for better mental health care in the US which I think is phenomenal. He really is passionate. It was exciting to know that he continues to be a huge advocate and use his sway to try to gain more support for the cause. I hope that he can work to change the current system so that mental health is not stigmatized but viewed as a disease like diabetes or hypertension. It sounds like he wants to start the process in North Carolina and then spread it to other states. I am appreciative of the opportunities I have gained through this fellowship. I hope I do a good job of showing my thanks.
