What you are describing -feeling emotionally upset and burdened by unresolved childhood experience is not uncommon. Early life events can leave deep emotional imprints and when they remain unprocessed they may manifest late as persistent distress, intrusive memories, low mood or difficulty in moving forward.
The important thing to remember is that this is not a sign of weakness. many doctors experience similar struggles because we often carry unspoken expectations to be resilient at all times.
Next Steps
psychotherapy can help you process and reframe those past experiences so that they no longer weigh as heavily on you.
If your mood, sleep or functioning is significantly affected short term medication support may also be considered
Health Tips
I would strongly encourage you to consult a mental health professional personally so that your experience can be explored in a safe and confidential setting. with support it is very much possible to come out of the shadow of the past trauma and live more freely in the present.

Hi
You’ve been carrying pain from your past for so long that it’s weighing you down in the present. Childhood wounds don’t just disappear — they stay inside like unhealed cuts. That’s why you feel stuck and emotionally drained.
But healing is possible. Talking to a therapist can help you unpack this baggage slowly, piece by piece, so it stops haunting you. You don’t have to carry it alone anymore. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hello,
It’s incredibly brave of you to acknowledge this pain.. even more so as a doctor, someone trained to “hold it together.”
But just because you can carry the weight doesn’t mean you should.
Childhood wounds often stay tucked away until life demands we pause and tend to them.. not with judgment, but with care.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel whole, even with the past still in your story.
Warmly,
Seema
Next Steps
If you feel ready, reach out to a counselling psychologist .. online or in person. You deserve a space where you are the one being heard and held.
Health Tips
Delaying will just increase your self doubt and lower your self confidence. Love yourself and Act upon it..
