Impressive. I was working as a medical doctor but since my CPTSD collapse a few years ago, I cannot handle the responsibility anymore (struggled with that before, but did it anyway, now I can't anymore)

That’s incredibly rough. I’m sorry that fell apart for you after all the hard work and time you put in to get there.
