Been out of work for months. I’m trying to stay positive and pretend I’m fine to my family, but seeing them go off to school the sitting alone is so difficult today. I know I’m a good creative, but I just don’t feel like I’m ever going to get back in. Anxiety is waking me up at night. This sucks and is a constant mental battle.

SM on my project stepped away on paternity leave. SM was the one who led partner discussions and most of the client meetings. We're a week from a client deadline.

As a manager, I'm stepping but incredibly stress with the amount of moving parts. I don't have a strong rapport with the partner (Neither did the SM) to be open and transparent on how stressful I'm feeling without downgrading myself.

I'm sick to the stomach and very anxious, stressed at the suddenness of the thrust.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
