A first year associate at my law firm (I joined 2 months ago) died by suicide last week. My brother died by suicide when I was younger. I don’t know that I have a specific question, I just feel so terrible for her and her family. I also can’t help but wonder if it is a red flag as to my new firm.

Hope everyone’s hanging in there!!

Any suggestions on avenues to buy Gold bars? Based in NYC if that helps.

I have a title/survey memo due this week and my last one took 3 hrs for 10 items so assumed the new one would be quickly too... Just opened the title commitment here at 11pm, memo due tomorrow, 60 exception items I haven't started reviewing. Send help, I severely played myself 🙃

How to deal with cliques based on ethnicity? I’m qualified to be here and I have solid, defensible ideas but they are constantly dismissed by the Indian majority on my team. They isolate me too.

Looking to make a lateral move from Wisconsin to Philadelphia. Does anyone have recommendations on firms to look out for? Both good looks and bad?

Who are some of your fav POC women comedy directors? Would love to bring some new names into my director search!

So....has anyone started at a start-up in your first management role? They have $100M+ in series a funding and they sound legit, but I’m nervous.

I’d essentially have someone running the group WITH me as we grow, but he doesn’t have that much more experience than I do.

My boss has actually told me if I found what sounded like a good opportunity...and then I found out it was desirable than I originally thought, could come back, but that would be more than awkward. Thoughts?

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?

I think I have become desensitized to being called colored. Anyone else?

Should I put 12% for my 401k contribution? I am currently 6 pre tax and 1 Roth

I feel like all the walls are closing in. My bosses at work like me a lot, but I have come to hate my job. I’m at a bad place in my marriage as well. I just want to call it quits and sit in a room...

Anyone ever experience severe brain fog for an extended period of time? I'm having difficulty remembering stuff, mind is always racing all the time, hard to fall alseep and completely, cont'd

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

when feeling low, do you listen to depressing music or uplifting music? i'm sure there are pros and cons to each

Does anyone else feel like they can’t connect with their coworkers? I hate the small talk & i feel like I can’t be myself around anyone at work :(

Has anybody has Craniosacral therapy before? What was your experience like?

How do you deal with a back stabbing manager who will be sweet on your face, assure you of everything good but give you average ratings? (Happened multiple times now)

Anyone feel dating paralyzed? I feel like I can’t effectively date if I’m not in right frame of mind. This profession has ruined it for me

I can’t sleep - I’m getting so paranoid about the coronavirus. It all kinda just hit me that this is reality ;(

Lost two close folks. Both worked with me before. Both I had broken bread with. We had laughed together, explored together.... I am at a loss. I cannot process this.

Diagnosed with bipolar 2 today. Spent years trying to manage what I thought was depression to no avail. Anyone else deal with this? What are the meds like, and how does it affect your work?

I literally have panic attacks for anything these days. It’s becoming unbearable.

I desperately want to switch jobs but every time I sit down to prep or network, I have an anxiety attack or I distract myself with my phone or the television. I have pushed out some interviews so many times that I don't know if the companies will agree to one more change. Anyone have any recommendations for how they worked through their anxiety when prepping for interviews?

You ever look at a friend and think they have it all? Good career, rich spouse, community, full life? And look at yours and see what’s missing?

I feel like a total worthless loser because I’ve never done any of the things in my romantic life that I am expected to have done by my age. I’m trying to change that, but I don’t think I ever will.

Bored & don't wanna do anything. Can't work, watch TV, chat, cook, etc.. only want to sit in the sun, read posts here. Haven't seen anyone except in the store. Afraid of cracking. Advice?

Worst part of this corona hysteria is to realize I am absolutely alone in this city, have no friends and not a single soul to share any issues/ insecurities with if anything happens (family is abroad)

I don't know what my next steps are. I am completely demotivated and hate my life with no friends, and no satisfaction with anything I work on.

I got off of Lexapro after 4 years. It’s been about 4 months and managing the stress of work and life feels so overwhelming (even with therapy) and I’m slipping back into old habits. Has anyone felt successful after getting off SSRI’s? I want to be medication free but it seems unrealistic. Any tips?
