  • A re-introduction

    Hello everyone, it seems most of you might not remember me since I have been MIA for a while. I found this site when I was stressed, lonely, and in a new state. DH was having an awful time even though about half a year into residency. We were both depressed and vitamin D deficient it turns out. At one point I even considered telling him he could quit if it's what he really wants... at which point GrayMatter proceeded to give me a swift kick in the rear and told me he should suck it up, or rather that we both should. Everyone was nice on here and had encouraging words, it was also great to know others had been through it and made it. When you whine to family and friends, they don't always get it.

    Then there was that unpopular view I voiced regarding media coverage of an uprising in a country I will not mention. I didn't create the topic but responded to a question that in my opinion meant the person was presenting the issue as one-sided. But somebody it seems felt victimized or something and I felt like the bad guy. As I felt shortly after that I had perhaps divulged too much and even revealed my identity to the www, I thought I would lay low just a bit but when I did try to post it seems the site was not viewable on my phone or was undergoing changes.

    So my introduction is a bit more vague this time. In retrospect, there were things I revealed and regret, and wondered if certain other wives are on here as well. With this new sense of public self-consciousness and awareness I will say I moved really far from one border to the other (I suppose I should make my groups private). DH is PGY2 now and cannot decide if he really wants to go for hem/onc. He's stressing over that. He is considering EM, argghh that's crazy I know but he says he's not the first. I just want him to be happy. As for me, I am in college. I have had a full-time job since the age of 18 so this is new to me. I did it backwards and now feel like the old geezer. This got long... but there it is. I might put up a pic or make an album now that there are all sorts of privacy options, hmm were they always there?

      Welcome back! I remember you. It was the name change that threw me off. I'm glad to hear that you're both in a better place now.

            Welcome back! Thank you for the re-introduction, I have a hard time remebering people from a year ago even without a name change . Vit D deficiency and depression are no joke, I hope you're both feeling much better now!

                    Hey, welcome back! Thanks for posting a new introduction and for being so understanding about our uncertainty. I look forward to ... re-getting to know you.

                    As far as the political debate ... don't sweat it. Many of us have found ourselves in the middle of an unintentionally icky debate.
