A job and income at the expense of your mental health is meaningless. Perhaps you can pivot to something else? I had a job like this early on and decided to leave. The next firm had a really positive culture and I thrived. How long have you been practicing?

It is not too early to start looking for your next step. I know that there is a pressure to stay somewhere for at least a year but you can explain a short stent somewhere. You are NOT stuck. Start looking! Start dreaming!

I’m so sorry to hear this. Journal your feelings and try to understand the cause. Is it the practice of law? The people? The type of work? Hours? Call your local bar association for help and support in your area. Life is too short. In the meantime, listen to Dr. Laura on Sirius triumph for general advice. Love her.

If you decide that the law isn’t for you, I’ve been listening to The Former Lawyer Podcast and Lessons from a Quitter. They’ve been really insightful.

I’m in a similar boat. Been here for one month and I already started sending out applications. Hope we can both land somewhere better soon 🙏

Not to diminish what you’re going through, but be grateful you have a job and income. Times are rough now. It will get better for you.

A3 crying daily might be a sign for professional help. I haven't had a job do that to me before, and my previous work as an ICU and ER nurse was literal life and death.

Close this chapter in your life as it doesn't serve you
Once you will close it ,you will free and happy after two months start looking for a job again
Do not hurt emotionally yourself anymore
You only have you as your avatar there is no other you so care about your avatar,don't allow anyone to hurt it bc thats the only body you have to live this life
And ask your guardian angel who is with you every second of your life for help,ask daily
Much love
