"What is more noble than the preservation and extension of lives that are not our own?" -Dave Nicol, DVM
This is a link to Dr. Dave's podcast on the subject of veterinary suicide...
The advice of my therapist fifteen years ago was to get rid of our dogs, Ebony and Copper, as she said they were stressing me out.
I panic a little bit, thinking I am relapsing.
Sometimes God lets our hearts be broken for people groups, then heals our hearts in such a way that we can be used to help heal other hearts.
You guys are awesome, and I love you.
Does veterinary medicine attract people prone to depression? Or are we pulled in that direction?
Sometimes an appropriate reset can be as strong as a suicide attempt.
Things I have changed...
After being in the hospital, I developed a sort of "Why not?" attitude.
I missed the team, I missed the pets and I missed the clients.
Russ and the doctor at the hospital and Dr. Bashara had all insisted I take that week to transition back to Real Life. I said I did not need it.
We went to the best little garden shop in Waterloo.
Happy Birthday Mom!!
"Wow Mom," Amanda said as she watched me spread out ALL the Sharpies and all the notebooks and write for hours.
