I don't have an answer for you, but I just wanted to say I am proud of you for getting help for whatever it was. :)

Well I wasn't an attorney at the time, but I was in the hospital at least a dozen times and 2 rehabs. I was young, but got sober and on the right meds several years thereafter. Now I'm a newly barred attorney. For mental health I highly recommend genetic testing to find out what meds you respond to. Game changer for me. I have been sober nearing on 2 decades and on the right meds almost 10 years. It was a journey and kudos to you for identifying you need help!

Secretary 1, thanks, my insecurity is telling me that everybody knows about my mental health issues and that I will be discriminated against because of it but there's no evidence of that so that's something that I keep fighting.

I left work for two weeks, unannounced, to deal with addiction, came back, told folks I was sick, and have received glowing reviews, full bonuses and merit bonuses every year since.

This was in biglaw. All they really wanted out of me was the work. When I came back and produced, everyone was happy.

Congratulations on your recovery. Addiction is a type of disability, and when you heal from it, you can be unstoppable.

Yep. Ive had 2 separate courses (11 treatments each) of ECT.

Okay, so life with this is brutal isn’t it? Ive been practicing and dealing with this (plus ADHD - diagnosed at 50) for 20 years. I took a 10 year break and still had depression although not as debilitating. The difference between us and others is we got help - recognizing the need for help and getting the help makes us better lawyers, not weaker ones. Its just critical to get that help, take a step back when needed so as not to impact the work/client.

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
