Blu....I am a nurse practitioner in an adult ICU. My job requires me to do life saving procedures on people often, make quick decisions and not hesitate when doing that. What I found was that I was starting to not able to concentrate at work and was second guessing myself, so that was when I knew something had to change. I am so fortunate to have the group of physicians I work with because they have allowed me to take this time away and regroup. The crazy thing is that they are all male and have been the most supportive of me during this difficult time.
I'm hoping that I can get back to the old me soon. The one who had confidence in herself both personally and professionally, the one who knew who she was, what she wanted and needed in life. The loving person that people want to be around. I don't want to be sad anymore.....this is NOT who I am.
