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.

I’m having my performance review tomorrow. Looked at my goals last year which was set before the pandemic really hit. Since it really affected business and travel I didn’t hit most of my goals.

Signs I’m getting old: I tripped and fell, and somehow partially tore my ACL. Have to figure out if I want surgery, and how to tell the team—at the very least, I’ll need a ton of PT.

I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?
