I am struggling…
Many doctors carry their struggles alone for far too long — quietly holding it together while everything feels like it's falling apart. It takes real strength to ask for help early, before things reach breaking point. You do not need to wait until you are at your worst. Reaching out now is not a sign of weakness — it is one of the wisest things you can do for yourself, your patients, and the people who care about you.
