I dont believe in rewarding myself for something I am supposed to do.

I put exercise in the same category as, drinking water, showering, brushing my teeth, reading, etc..

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team.

Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
