First, I want to let you know that pathology is AWESOME. I work in oncology research and I regularly deal with pathology results and pathologists. They are some smart people that do some really great things.

A lot of people that may have been prone to anxiety and depression can have the symptoms manifest themselves after a period of extreme stress (such as the death of a loved one). My anxiety started a few months after my grandfather passed away very suddenly. The good thing is that anxiety IS COMPLETELY TREATABLE. The downside is that the way to treat it is generally through slowly exposing yourself bit by bit to the situations that make you tense so you overcome it in baby steps.

Since you are in school, your school might offer counseling services to students. This can be very worthwhile, especially if you can find a counselor that has experience working with anxiety disorders.

Stay strong because while it is a hard road and it can sometimes take a while, you CAN overcome it.

You are in my prayers. 🙂
 
The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26

Continued prayers.
 
Lord, give Roux peace in his heart and mind. Give him the grace, strength, and confidence he needs to get through the day at his job.
God bless you!! I’m keeping you in my prayers, Roux.

My prayers go out for all who suffer anxiety, depression and panic attacks. It is real, and not just in one’s head.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Thank you for the prayers everyone. It often feels like I cant do anything right. I know I can’t please every one all the time but sometimes situations like today come up. I was trying to finish several cases that have been on hold due to one staff being hard to get a hold of, well I finally pinned this staff down and we finished several cases. Well the staff attending that I am currently rotating with got all upset that I was an hour late. I know now that I should have texted or called to let her know but when I got there to explain the response was you could do that one the weekend. Just a little unreasonable because the people I need to work with aren’t available on the weekend. Worst of all we get evaluated and I am sure this will go on my evaluation. I have done everything for this staff all month long and just because of a couple times being late and not letting this person know before hand I will get dinged on my evaluation. It isn’t fair and I have done my best, but one human mistake is going to screw up my evaluation.

As far as counselors I have been in contact with these however I think since they are through the administration they tend to be biased toward the administration and therefore are not that helpful. In fact a lot of the thing that they are requiring me to do are not to my befit, but to cover themselves and mostly make things harder and more stressful. I just feel very isolated and with no one to help me. All I have to rely on is God and sometimes I feel like he isn’t listening. I just want to be happy that is all and right now I really am not.

As always thank all of you for every single prayer that you have said on my behalf. I always seem like I am on here complaining and I pray that one day I will be back telling you all how things are finally going well. However not today. I did retake my all important test regarding my career this past Monday and Tuesday and hopefully it all went well. It seems that once one thing is done another thing jumps in my face.

Yesterday I received a scathing evaluation about my performance on my last month. Which I feel was absolutely unfounded, I have never had a poor evaluation for any month in my entire life! I truly feel that this evaluation was a biased evaluation biased on my belief that this staff dislikes me or was prompted to write such a scathing evaluation. I dont think I deserved this and I dont know what to do regarding how to fight this. Or even if I should fight this. The whole situation feels like I am being unjustly targeted and there is nothing I can do about it. I feel like bad things keep happening to me and God keeps letting them happen. I know that is probably really stupid to say and that there is a reason for it all but I cant help but wondering why me, why now? I just feel so horrible about myself already and now this. I feel like they are going to break my spirit and I don’t feel like God is here right now. I just want things to be ok is that to much to ask?

p.s. Asking for things to be o.k. is not too much to ask…
