Mental Health

Hi guys,

I wanted to raise the issue this week of our sanity!!!
I'm hearing more and more of fellow collegues (not unlike myself) feeling VERY stressed and some are wondering about burn out and depression. I think that a lot of us are facing some huge issues in the next couple of months, one hurdle is the PCR, some of our colleagues are moving home to Canada, and quite frankly, a HUGE change is ahead for all of us.....

Personally I absolutely hate change most of the time....the worry of getting a job is starting to get to me.....and I feel like I have pretty much no time and really can't be quite bothered to get my resume out yet....I'm wondering things like....what differentiates us as new grads? we've done the same physio degree.....apparently grades don't matter....clinic performance is marked as competent/not competent....and I'm thinking it wouldn't be as professional to include our clinic reports in our resume etc...so I kind of feel like I'm going to have to be plain lucky to get a job! Surely the 'selectors' for interviews wouldn't be able to remember if we've been on placement in their hospital and be able to ask appropriate people about you.

So what do you guys think?? and what are you doing about it?
