I’m a doctor. I have just been on the phone with a patient with nonspecific complaints. The current investigations are all normal, no specific explanation for her problems.

C- Patient said “I would rather be safe than sorry”
T- I am second guessing myself whether I have done enough investigation
F- uncertainty
A- I stop doing my inbox. I am spinning in my head resisting ” I don’t want the responsibility of my job. I don’t like uncertainty “. It is 7pm and I could have been home an hour ago but I am still at work.
R- I am not doing enough to finish my current task of finishing my inbox.

C- Patient said “I would rather be safe than sorry”
T- This second guessing of myself is tiring
F- Tired
A- do nothing
R- not getting anything useful done

Well, obviously, the thought of “I’m not doing enough” is not useful. It leads to me not achieving any useful things for myself. I’ll try on some more useful thoughts. But the models just seem too simple??? Am I doing it right??
