Breakdown of a Psychiatrist

...but it just seems that nobody is able to cope with anything on their own anymore. Situations that people dealt with 20 years ago and were considered just a typical day are now ISSUES that weak people today cannot deal with.

More and more I find myself tuning my patients out while they are on my couch. I have become quite skilled at knowing when to offer an appropriate reply to acknowledge I am listening, when I am actually doing nothing of the sort.

The truth is that I find myself wanting to explain to them in vivid detail how to end their miserable suffering. Of course, it is my own suffering that I am looking to ease.

I would like to say that I am ashamed of these feeling but in truth I am not. I feel empowered by my new sense of loathing of all of those who I encounter. I have decided that I will do something. Indeed, something that will silence all of these insufferable pussies and will put a little smile on my face at the same time.

Yes, I know exactly what has to be done.
