Met up with Dr T
In the afternoon, i met up with Dr T as per review of my mental health viva results. I started crying when i told about how anxious i was during the viva. Hrhr. Felt like a fool! A fool i tell you! And i even told her that i shouldn't be crying. She was asking about the viva and when comparing it with my written exam which i did well, i had the knowledge, i told her it was just that during the viva i couldn't say much. She asked me about whether i've been crying a lot, whether i was depressed trying to evaluate my mental state. I dunno, as a medical student, i probably tried to minimise things. She also asked about support from friends and family. Overall, she's a very smooth-talking pyschiatrist as you would expect from someone with vast experience in the field. She diagnosed me with having performance anxiety after i revealed my failing the two short case in medicine rotation. Dr T asked me to consult a psychologist to try and desensitise my anxiety. So, i travelled to UQ and booked an appointment with one for next wednesday.
