However,

I was single in surgery residency and I was drowning in the responsibilities now of actually being fully present for a son who now loved me and wanted to have a mom.

And so I made the hardest decision that I've made.

I still at times struggle with that decision that I made.

But at the time, this is what I saw as my only option of being a single mom in residency.

And I adopted him out to another family.

A family that I knew well, a family that was perfect for him, but it still didn't change the amount of pain that it caused my heart.

I had no idea how to grieve something like that.

I had no idea how to feel all of that.

My pattern was, I'm just going to throw myself into work.

I'm going to avoid, I'm going to distract myself.

And then I numbed with a lot of food.

I was already on two mood medications.

And one month later was when I woke up and I could not get out of bed.

And we started the medical workup.

I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome in the process, but then we ultimately found the autoimmunity.

And I remember sitting in the rheumatologist's office, being a doctor myself and saying, look, I can see that we haven't really developed all the symptoms of autoimmunity.

Got the fatigue.

That's usually the most common symptom of autoimmunity.

Don't have all the rest of the stuff.
