Do not remember the last time I had a night where I I'd not wake up sweating and extreme anxiety.

Doing consulting at the same time feels like doing life in "Super Hard" mode.....

It IS super hard. Try to get close to your anxiety, understand it’s cause(s) and how to manage it. Seek out a therapist and consider some anti anxiety meds. Good luck! Don't give up! It is super hard, you can do this.

Try to establish the boundaries of your work and personal life by focusing on your physical and psychological health. Try working out often and try some off the counter medication that is supposed to help your sleep like HTP-5. If the problem is serious enough try talking to a doctor/counselor. Stress is a sneaky bastard that has lot of latent effects.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more

I just have to say that signing up for therapy (and finding my current therapist) was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I’m learning a lot about myself and how to live a happier life. I wish people could learn about these things without therapy. And I wish more people would be able to take advantage of counseling.
