Best of luck to you! Remember to show yourself grace.
So proud of you for getting help! You got this. Give yourself grace and be patient.
Remember it’s just a job! Not a measure of your worth
In this vein, don’t beat yourself up if it’s harder than expected or simply not the right fit for you in the end. It has nothing to do with you, it’s about finding the best place for you.
May the Lord be with you. Such a blessing that you are able to return to work.
I asked to comeback without a response what the hell are you smoking ?
Best wishes. Your health is more important than any paycheck
Those are facts for every advocate in here try talking to your mate for a week as I slam they phone shut on both and think you don’t want to body slam after
Good luck. You got this
Best of luck and yeah, it’s just a job.
Just a job? lol look at someone from the bottom of the totem pole creating forums on glass jaws
You got this!!! Take care of yourself and remember you are more important than any job!
Who the hell said I wanted to leave the job anyway what are yall smoking
Most of us internalize mental health issues, especially men. I did. But after 45 years of practice, one case broke me. It was good to talk about it. My wife, also an attorney, was very supportive and walked me off the ledge. 5 years of my life, very agressive and abusive litigation strategy by my opponent. My life was threatened by one member of the board of the company I represented. I won at every stage which was gratifying. I managed to break new ground in creating a new standard for maritime subject matter jurisdiction. but it was a painful process. Defense firms imposed on law schools in the middle of appeals to the 5th circuit to write law review articles favoring the opposition’s position. I’m proud of what I did but it probably shortened my life. If I knew when I signed on to the case what I know now, I would have never taken it. No human being should be exposed to that level of stress— threats, waking up in the middle of the night because you suddenly dream of a new strategy, etc. Get help early.
Yeah try talking to your wife while I slam the phone shut on both
I had a laminectomy about a year ago and I hear you, brother. Good luck.
I came back with my spine and got ignored what the hell are you smoking
People will be excited to see you and have you back. Ease into things as work always seems to ease back into you. Take this part time to adjust to a new lifestyle and healthier habits.
My life style is pretty healthy if my lady and I was in front of broadway camera with her ( O ) ( O ) showing on Tapped calls
You’ve got this!!!
Sending you good vibes and continued peace as you return to practice.
Take it slowly and always always put yourself first!
Take it slowly ? How I was observed up and down by an associate who got obsessed with the bottom of the totem pole is a lifetime movie
How did your first day back go?
I don’t know ask your partners who ignored me when I offered to come back even after you slammed phone shut between my mate and I
Congratulations on feeling well enough to return to work. It’s heartening that your firm provided a two-month leave (I hope it was paid!) for you to receive treatment. I wish you the best. And, trust yourself. If you need more time to heal - in order to be strong enough to provide the firm your best and enduring lawyering, trust what you need to do to make that happen. If the firm won’t, at this point, commit to fostering what needs to happen for you to do your best lawyering, you likely need to take a pass. You may or may not be a lawyer for the rest of your life, AND you sure are NOT committed to this firm for the rest of your life.
Try my commitment without slamming the phone shut between my mate and I how committed will you be when you can’t even communicate on the phone with your wife
Best of luck! You got this and we are here to support you!
Best of luck! How you’re treated will show what people are really like. Though I don’t know what led you to treatment, it when I came back after 30 gays to my company after drug and alcohol rehab (the booze and coke got out of control) everyone who worked with me and for me was very supportive. It showed me a lot about people. I also tried to keep rehab/detox a secret, but you can’t. One important thing was to be very frank about it without sounding defensive. I’m actually humorous about it. But, depending on your comfort level, but some sort of platitudinous but not obviously false story might be something to think about. But, in reality, good for you for getting the treatment you needed!
A secret? Your para told me to have a “ lunt “ after one of the projects
Best wishes! You got this and good luck with the rest of your treatment!
Sending you well wishes!
