Would like therapy, need advice

Would like therapy need advice Nurses Stress 101

Updated:   Published

I am going through tough times. Transitioning from maternity leave to ER RN. Parents also going through potential divorce which devastates me. I'm scared to seek therapy due to the stigma and my job finding out as well as having to now check boxes on all sorts of forms stating I've “seeked psychiatric help”. Its frustrating that to just speek to someone and vent, now needs to be publicized for all to know it feels like. I dont want meds I dont want to be diagnosed, I simply want someone to vent to who is not friends or family, basically someone who is not emotionally attached because I sinply dont need them getting upset WITH me. But seeking therapy so to say, is too risky. I need advice on where to go, your opinions, and who to speak to as well as anyone else feeling this way please let me know

I have GAD and MDD and have had for years. I don't mind taking medicine so I do, for both conditions. I use DrOnDemand to keep it private from work.

I work with an excellent psychologist, lmk if you would like her name.
