I’m curious, how many of you battle depression, anxiety, or some other mental illness, but are afraid to get help because fear that there would be professional consequences, either from your firm or from your state’s bar association

Love how desperate everyone is in this bowl 😆 just discovered it, desperate too, but not in the US

Do most places in Canada not consider internship/coop experience as actual experience? I earned 15 months of my CPA practical experience that way (4 coop terms) so I am confused why some companies do not consider it.

What are some changes you would make in your writing style that will make your writing style neutral instead of ‘Desi’?

When is it time to give up on a job offer coming in and move on? Internal recruiter has been in constant contact with me and extremely positive, but the final decision seems to keep getting pushed off because they can’t get all the decision makers together to decide - 3 weeks now. Feels like I’m being strung along or maybe their second choice. I wasn’t looking to leave my current role, but this is an awesome opportunity. It’s starting to distract me in my current job though and can’t let it go.

I've never understood this, why do there seem to be more female librarians than male?

Has anyone ever used a executive suite (regus type) and used the secretary to answer the phone and then have it forwarded to another phone?

I see LI posts saying a recruiter reached out to them and that’s how they get interviews/hired…but I can’t figure out what I need to become 1 of those people who get reached out to by recruiters on LI. I hired a 12 yr HR professional currently working at a tech company for a new resume and LI profile, I request new connections, like/comment posts…Recruiters, what’s the “Secret Sauce” to get recruited for tech when I’m a true external candidate (program mngr) & my network is all in healthcare?

What's the number one barrier stopping more Black attorneys and associates from joining or succeeding in big law?

Tips for preparing for a case study?

Getting ready to start with accenture federal and seems to be taking forever to get my key to fill out my clearance paperwork. How long did it take for others SF-86 to come back?

I have bad Sunday blues. I feel like I should just take xanax and go to bed. I am in a bad covid cycle of binge eating, starving, drinking too much, then being rigidly “good” for a few days then spiraling into the cycle again. I feel doom and can’t get off my couch. I went on vacation w family and had a good time last week. Back home alone I feel in a funk again. Funkier than Cold Medina. Just wanted to share with someone.

Wife is depressed. I convinced her to go to a therapist for the past few months; after the first appointment the therapist highly suggested meds, but my wife refuses to try them.

Meanwhile, she....

How to find meaning and go on when everything is so hard? I go through stages but often I am just working to pull myself out of deep depression. Going to try to check something off my list for a dopamine hit. Stay strong on Sunday which is sometimes hard when we don’t have work and routine to distract us!

Anyone else ever have experience with prescription withdrawals and being unable to manage while be staffed?

Constant tremors and stuttering tapering off Ativan and Vyvanse. Getting rolled off (cont)

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

How are people getting their grind going this morning? I'm particularly unmotivated today.

What’s your biggest struggle recently? Have you improved??

I’ve seen it here and there but wondering if anyone knows how the PwC mental health benefit works?

I am a new BTA, I staffed on my first project where I worked 80+ hours including weekend. My team did not have any time to give feedback. Now I am being "rolled" off due to budget cuts.

Does anyone use alcohol to cope? I find that after a night of heavy drinking I’m at extreme levels of depression, hopelessness, regretting all of my life decisions, feeling extremely withdrawn, disconnected and lonely. This occurs for a few days and then I start to feel hyper excited. Only way to come down is to drink and start the cycle all over again. Is this normal?

For those who have therapists - how do the sessions usually go? I tried two and quit because the first one didn't understand my problems (i.e. told me I should just stop worrying) and the second was very set that medication was the only solution when I asked if there was anything else I could try before. Unsure if I am looking for the wrong thing by wanting someone to talk to about my problems instead of a list of cold logical solutions that work except are hard to implement when overwhelmed.

In dark moments, sometimes I feel very proud of my ability to successfully complete the CAPTCHA. 😂

Im having crazy anxiety about this training session I have to give tomorrow morning. How do you calm yourself before a big presentation without meds?

I just got my license ~3 months ago and started a project where I need to rent a car. I need to drive on the highway (first time ever) to get to the office & it's been giving me a bit of anxiety.

What are other options besides therapy and meds? I can’t sit through another appointment of someone asking if I’m thinking of hurting myself or others without getting something from it.

Going through a lot of mixed emotions. Almost feels like my anxiety levels are on the rise. I used to think I can manage stress very well, but that belief seems to be fading away. I am diabetic as well and don’t see much point of working hard as I have in all my life so far... and just feel like living alone and going somewhere in the darkness. Anyone else facing similar issues?
