Burn Out

Hi, so today we had a lecture on burning out in our first year of work post uni.
Symptoms include:
Sadness (no)
Anger (yes)
Frustration (YES)
Tension (YESS)
Anxiety (YES!!!)
Depression (no)
Forgetfulness (HELL YES)
suspiciousness (why would that be?)
Paranoia (not yet)

and it's only week two.
I haven't been sleeping well lately. (note to self: must buy a book on good grammar)
I'm so tired, anxious and excited. I cannot wait to start clinic, as that is what keeps me going every semester. I've got another hospital placement (I'm going to be paranoid about maintaining confidentiality) I love being placed outside of uni, I feel like I'm being assessed ALL THE TIME when I'm in the uni clinic.

Since this the entry two here is more about me:
I've had JRA (juvenil rheumatoid arthritis) since I was two years old. It's severe, in every joint except for the ones that I have had replaced (hips and knees). I have two wheelchairs (powerchair and manual w/c). I have never known life without it.

OK more from me later this week...
