I appreciate you so much for not just saying that you had money saved but also sharing how much. I hate how folks act like you can start a business with a dollar and a dream. That may be true for some, but it's not the reality for most. That's why so many small businesses (sadly including mine) fail. When I try again, I'm going to take a more realistic approach and make sure I have enough to be comfortable for at least year so I don't have to eat everything I kill.

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.
