GP & Human: Last (Public) Chapter of my Journey

Farewell to all from 'GP & Human' in this personal form. Thank you all so much for your loyal support as you followed my journey; it meant more than I can express.

World Mental Health Day; a Day Late

A smiling facade can mask much pain, Fear and loneliness often reign, Do not try to understand, Just lend an ear or a hand, This is not something you can mend, But just be there; be a friend.

Happy Summer Solstice….and a bit of blurb

So, I am not disappearing in any way and maybe one day, it will be appropriate to wake 'GP and Human' up from its sleep.

I Just Want to Escape

I have spent a lifetime trying to be the best person I can be. Yet it's never enough. And, despite best intentions, I keep messing up. I am no good as a mother, wife or doctor. I'm fed up of the futility of trying so hard for nothing. I just want it all to go away. Curl up and hide. Escape. Switch off.

Work Pattern Back as it was Before.

The work pattern is back as it was before. So far it is OK. Will it be ongoing? I don't know yet...there's a balance to be struck somehow.

Fear of Falling Back to the Old Life.

So, I can feel hints of what I struggled with before and there is a fear of falling back to that to a degree although I am sure it would never get back to that extreme. But pretty much everything is, and will remain, better than before September.

Who is ‘GP and Human?’ – This is ‘Me’…

So...here goes....no turning back now! This is 'me'... Dr. Kathryn Hayman

Preparing for ‘The Big Reveal;’ Who am I?!

I am not yet sure exactly when I will reveal my identity, but I now know that I will!

Back to ‘Normal’

Maybe this is the 'back to normal' that I was yearning for. Life still has many challenges, but this is a new 'normal' that is much more manageable. (And, no....I myself am still not normal!)
