This helps you describe what’s happening to a doctor. It does not diagnose. If you feel unsafe, call local emergency services or a crisis line.
The prompt
I think I’m burned out, and I’m seeing my doctor about it. Don’t confirm or rule out burnout or anything else. That’s the doctor’s job. Help me describe it so I don’t just say I’m tired. Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about what I could do a year ago that I can’t now, my sleep, work and mood, and what I’m hoping the doctor can do. Then write one page I can read from: a then-and-now comparison in five concrete examples, a plain version of the sentence I’m most likely to water down, what I want from the appointment, and four questions to ask, including what should be checked or ruled out. Say where my answers were too vague to use. If anything sounds urgent, tell me not to wait for the appointment.
