"I had my workplace failing me, but also my family doctor of over 20 years. She was just about to retire, and after 4 months of under-diagnosing me as having burnout, she said to me, "You just need to go back to work. People expect you to be better by now". She pushed for a Return to Work Plan and I felt she was leading me to my death. In fear and confusion, I could not challenge her or seek a second opinion. Who would believe me over an established medical professional? That doctor caused and enabled further bullying and further damages. Meanwhile, I felt like a failure at recovery."
