It does suck but you aren’t alone. It is an extremely demanding profession. Our society places a lot of stigma and embarrassment around depression but the reality is many are depressed and there are things we can do besides pop antidepressants. Hope you get better soon.

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
