This is just a vent post, but after being in telehealth for 2 years, I’m burning out SO badly and honestly don’t know where to go next.

How are you all seeing 5-6+ patients a day and not getting burnt out? Being that they are usually 1-hour long appointments, then plus charting, I really feel like I’m working full 7-8+ hour days. While I definitely appreciate being able to WFH, for the pay, it really doesn’t seem worth it.

I don’t wanna go back to clinical, already did public health (too much fieldwork,) and every remote position I’d want has 100+ applicants. Honestly feeling pretty hopeless and discouraged.

Any advice is appreciated, but honestly just made this post to let you know that if you’re feeling the same, you’re not alone!! I wish we could start some sort of petition 😔

I keep seeing them on tiktok and it seems like people are having major success with them. Wondering if anyone here has used them and what your thoughts are???

I’m in my early 30s and have admitted to myself just a couple of weeks ago that I don’t think I’m 100% straight. This is my first time putting things into words so I apologize if this comes across as scattered or if any of my sentiments are offensive in any way.

There have always been some signs, but I always brushed them off as fantasies or just being drawn to power dynamics. Most women I’ve been drawn to have been “above” me somehow – like a teacher, medical provider, boss, celebrity, etc. Almost always much older too, which I’ve always found interesting because I don’t have “mommy issues.” Throughout my life I have felt some attraction towards girls/women closer in age that didn’t really make sense to me at the time because I didn’t have any sexual thoughts if that makes any sense?

Anyways, the recent “aha” moment came from a play that I saw that had queer themes. I found myself kind of attracted to one of the leads and just the overall vibe of the show. And days later it kind of just hit me all at once. Then, a week later I watched “Carol”, which really sealed the deal LOL.

For more context, I’ve never been with a woman and never even kissed one. I have dated lots of men and had a few serious relationships that didn’t last very long. I was maybe in love or reached the feeling of falling in love with 2 men. I was the one to end most of them, however I did get my heart broken just last year. I’ve always been very selective in general. I also very rarely enjoy sex with men and penetration but I have endometriosis and pelvic floor issues so I always assumed that’s why. But maybe there’s something deeper there as well.

I still find myself craving a male companion and I’m always eyeing men at bars and other places whenever I’m out. I don’t find myself seeking out women like I do men. It feels like it’s only in specific scenarios?? The power dynamics thing has calmed down a bit as I’ve gotten older, but still the attraction to women remains mostly towards older and accomplished women. Here and there I will see a woman closer in age to me whose beauty I can appreciate and sometimes will think “I’d make out with her” but that’s about it.

To sum it up, I don’t think I’m necessarily “seeking out” a woman but am recognizing that my sexuality is indeed fluid. I am not really ready to label things or share this with friends or family (especially family, my parents are not progressive) but at the same time would love to have an experience and explore this newfound realization in a way that is discreet but also respectful.

Any tips and insights are greatly appreciated!!❤️

If you ever see dietitians posting in Facebook groups about their telehealth company hiring, beware that they just want you to list them as a referral to get a bonus.

Not that this is inherently a bad thing, but they might not be 100% honest with you about things because they’re just trying to get that $$$

Plus it just seems shady to me to “refer” someone you don’t even know. * shrugs *

If you need a quick burn - highly recommend!!

Obsessed with all of her classes though tbh
