keep wondering if I’m actually burned out, or if this is just what being a lawyer feels like. I’m not falling apart. But every day feels like a loop of emails, redlines, and low-grade dread. I’m not crying in the bathroom or rage-quitting, but I’m also not living. I’m tired all the time, I’ve stopped doing things I used to love, and weekends just feel like buffer time to recover. Is this burnout, or just… the job?

I’m a 4th year now and really want to start growing a client base but have no idea how. HELP. I do corporate transactional law in mid-tier market.
