"Moving on"
I've been feeling empty for a few months
>physician in an university hospital
>always wanted to see what it's like being an ER physician
>do eet during a year
>good at it
>they suggest i stay and get a title - means being part of the chief team
>but these people coming everyday and every night with a missing leg or dying after a car crash
>stop eating meat
>lose interest in life in general
>become robot
>start drinking to get some sleep with the horrible shedule changes
>see i'm getting in serious shit
>gf is also a physician in the ER tells me to stop
>i realise i lost control on my life
>get back into something more vanilla
>feel happy and relieved again
>miss that adrenaline shot everyday
>starts drinking and thinking about the past like if i had been to war
my gf told me i speak in my sleep and scream orders like if i was in the middle of an emergency at work
i move and hit things around me when i sleep
i just want to "feel life" again, and enjoy things like i used to
thank you for reading

Are you a physician OP or paramed not clear in post to me. Either way that's admirable shite what's fucking u up is SHIFTWORK combined with no control over your work. Stay in ER med but look for something that's better for you health wise like day work academic or consulting or medico legal work. I work with ex ER physicians and next to obgyn worst burnout rate for stress. Hang in there bro.

Np. You are in medicine that's great area defitnely I'd say just from what your saying the work schedule is shite. It's been proven night shift causes depression weight gain anxiety people with circadian rhythms not meant for it but u know that. Quality work life is important I left 150k job which required me travel 6 mos year for career under 100k and can work from home 3 days week and rest office on days and much happier with less money but not wasting life in airports not for me (some peeps prob love it).
