Starting a trip to Europe this weekend - anyone been to France or Spain (or Portugal) recently and can comment on how things are looking? Particularly:
- any success getting a pass sanitaire if not vaccinated in the EU? I know most places will take a CDC card, but the hostel I’m staying at requires pass sanitaire
- if I’m just connecting in Portugal (less than 7 hours layover), am I subject to Portugal entry requirements in addition to final destination requirements?

Thank you!

Anyone here have insight on Gibson Dunn's NYC office? A recruiter approached me about a role that sounds interesting. Curious about hours expectations, bonuses, culture, etc.

Thanks!

Anyone struggling with hair loss issue?

Did you take Biotin and did that help?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

However, i still feel like a corpse everyday and have zero motivation to do anything. I have noticed my work product declining and I feel extremely burnt out with no hope for the future.

My spouse and I are applying for a new mortgage and my lender looked up our credit scores and suggested that the mortgage is done only for me and not include my spouse as my score was in the top bracket. She is earning as well and i wanted to understand the risk of taking mortgage only on me:
1 - will we end up having issues filing for taxes jointly and show deductions etc?
2 - will there be issues with joint ownership (title) if the mortgage does not include us both?
3 - any other risk/benefit

Hi everyone, I’m joining the UT Data Analytics Bootcamp because I want to make the transition out of tech sales into data analytics. I’ve enjoyed, learned a lot but the stress has taken a toll on my health health. It’s a 7 month program that starts in December. I’m asking, would any of you who are in this field do the Bootcamp or would it be best to just go back to school for a Bachelor’s degree or a Masters in Data Analytics. Or would you advice a different path?

What is going on a Friday evening, what plans for weekend?

Would love ideas for meeting people outdoors. Looking to connect with locals, as long as it does not involve eating indoors. 😂 This area was so good for connecting a variety of backgrounds coming together from all over. Ideas?

What is the sick leave policy in Big4/ACN in UK?

We moved into our apartment last March on a one year standard lease. A new management company took over in December and hasn’t yet reached out about renewing the lease. My inclination is to keep quiet and keep the covid deal and not worry about being without a lease. Is this the right move?

I never understood why lawyers use so much drugs until I became a partner. I use adderal to stay up for 18 hours a day and a lot of pot to relax and sleep at night. I know understand why drug use is a thing in this profession

What advice would you have wished your young selves to know?

What did y’all actually want to be when you grew up?

Is anyone else experiencing a new wave of covid anxiety due to the stress of figuring out the holidays? Got in an argument with a family member about safety guidelines and testing needing to happen and I’ve been feeling paralyzed by anxiety all day.

Is it me or does depression in big law mostly affect single overworked women around age 30?

Does anyone have any advise when it comes to navigating getting help and your firm. I had a tough month mentally. But I reached out to my local bar’s LAP. I’m starting the process of seeing a therapist. But my dreads still here. I’m panicking about being short on hours, falling behind on my cases and explaining to my boss I know I’m behind at work but I am working on it. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

question of the day: why did you join this bowl? Since I asked, I will start: I’ve been on a journey of recovery from legal-overachiever-workaholism. Changed jobs, city and environment and still working hard to recover from burnout that is, unfortunately, part and parcel of the legal profession.

If you’re reading this, go drink some water!

SEEKING OPINIONS & FEEDBACK: I love the honest & practical discussions here, where people can freely identify things that are going on & seek guidance.

Wondering whether anybody’d be interested in some kind of more purposeful community- i.e., gathering w/fellow lawyers to pursue some specific mental health & well-being goals? We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.

Anyone participating in dry January or done similar things in the past? Did you notice an effect on mental health or other benefits?

Does anyone have any experience working with a Life Coach/Therapist to help in this industry and just overall? I realize I get in my own way by overthinking and I have trouble executing. Also realizing I doubt myself/ability, so it subconsciously holds me back from implementing things I want to do/achieve. Any recommendation(s) is greatly appreciated!

Has anyone had good experiences taking ashwagandha for daily stress?

Wish apps like BetterHelp were free. I can’t afford healthcare or therapy (I’m unemployed, and yes, I’ve tried seeking pro bono therapy options — no place anywhere nearby offers it.) I really need a therapist I can talk to on at least a weekly basis to just unpack so much that’s bogging me down to the point of being unable to function some days, but it’s just so cost prohibitive! What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.

Burnout: cyclical and becomes so debilitating that I find myself unable to do simple every day tasks. How often do you burnout? What does it entail for you?

I have chronic health issues and I’m severely depressed. I can’t even get myself to work anymore. If I don’t quit, I’m in serious danger of being fired. I feel that I need to just quit and take time off to get better but feel that it will be a stain on my career. I’m a pretty junior lawyer. Any advice. I just can’t do any work at all and I’m my anxiety and depression is spiraling out of control. I see a therapist I try to cope and it’s not working.

Probably the wrong bowl, but my high school senior is going off the rails. Besides a therapist, any suggestions?

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.

Mental health issues in our profession are finally being recognized. While mental health issues are not unique to lawyers, the profession and it's client service mantra present unique challenges.
