Is There a Professional Way to Pretend You Don't Know Your Psychiatrist at Work?
So there I was, in the middle of my workday, when I spotted my psychiatrist. At ✨work✨ Of all places. My coworkers have no idea I even see one, and suddenly I'm in a silent staring contest, debating whether I should wave like a friend, nod like a stranger, or crawl under the nearest desk.
And then, the cherry on top: “Are you still taking your meds?” Out loud. In public. In front of the vending machine. I swear, the Snickers bar in my hand was judging me too.
So is there a professional way to pretend you don't know your psychiatrist at work? Honestly, no. But there is a professional way to laugh it off later... preferably while hiding in the bathroom.
