[…] Do some soul-searching. Before you give up, can you try to solve the problems you have? I asked myself this many times. First it was, “Is it the job or the career?” Once I sorted that one out, the question became, “Is it me or the career? Will my problems follow me around regardless of what I choose to do for my daily work?” If you conclude that it’s something about your personality that will always cause your relationship with work to fail, try to resolve it. For example, if your need to be a perfectionist becomes too overwhelming, work on giving yourself the freedom to not be perfect. (I think the help of a coach or therapist comes in here.) If you’ve successfully cured yourself of this trait (or even if you haven’t,) and the job still makes you miserable, accept who you are and the fact that it might be the wrong career for you. […]

In reply to Dwight M.. Congrats to you, Dwight. I bet you'll see that the lifestyle change will be worth it. It's been crazy to find out about how many more dentists are in your situation than we know. I guess its no surprise. Woohoo, you made it! What ever will you do with all your new free time??

I know your pain!!! I’ve been a dentist for almost 30 years and hated it. I had a family so I had to suck it up. I am now nearing a chance to get out and I can’t wait. My lifestyle will suffer, but
I’ll enjoy less so much more. Thanks for your candor!!

In reply to lolabees. Yes, I have the book by Cordian as well couple of other paleo cookbooks. I even found an article from a cattle farmer in Texas advocating the Natural Diet/Cave man/Paleo diet providing an argument against all the modified grains that his animals used to eat and how they were unhealthy until he changed the cattle's diet. I send it to you. I have it in my favourites list on my computer at work.

I read this comment a while back and forgot to respond! Oops! I’ve heard of the book, but I don’t know much about it. Have you read the Paleo Diet created by Loren Cordain? I’m guessing they make similar arguments. I think many people are reactive to gluten/wheat– maybe more than not. I know I avoid those things because of sensitivities, and overall, I do much better.
