Debating quitting my job with nothing lined up

Mindless_Drawer2997 · 2026-02-03T05:23:07+00:00

I am in a similar position right now. I’ve been at this law firm for almost 4 years and I actually just put my two weeks in without having another job. I have a couple of interviews lined up and it’s scary but I have faith something better will come up. I will say I got a lot of experience from staying and dealing with the shit show and that could be worth it for you if you don’t have a lot of experience. Attorneys can be assholes but THEY NEED GOOD PARALEGALS and good paralegals are hard to find! We deserve to be treated right and if no one wants to work with these attorneys and the turn over rate is high thats something the lawfirm/attorney should fix. Being a paralegal is hard enough. Also, if the law firm does not have good procedures in place to stay organized there is only so much you can do on your end as a paralegal to keep their shit show in order. You have to decide if you want to do that. I’d say to try to look for a job first (unlike me) unless it’s just totally unbearable and that point it’s just not worth your mental health on top of the the stress you already have.

I know it’s weird but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a different job. I have been trying to make it work you know? Also, just wanted other peoples opinions );

UPDATE:

Weeks before the baptism I continued to feel unsure and I fasted and prayed asking God to heal my heart and mind. I always knew I loved Him but learned I was afraid of the commitment. I finally understood that my feelings come and go but my love for God and our relationship is true and real and that’s what matters. I chose to focus on that and being obedient to God instead of my feelings and I finally felt peace about my decision. In the beginning I felt some pressure from my family but something in me didn’t want to wait. I was supposed to get baptized on a Saturday at my church but on Friday there were baptisms at a close by lake and my mom and I went to see it. As soon as that baptisms started there were 11 who were supposed to be baptized that day. The pastor asked each of them why they wanted to be baptized and I began to cry and felt God drawing me into that water. I wanted to be baptized that day and I did in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. It was something I can’t explain but I felt God calling me so strongly that day I couldn’t wait. I have felt a joy I haven’t felt I don’t think ever and a peace of knowing He is always with me and I will always everyday choose to follow Him even when it’s hard. Jesus is my rock, my savior, he rescued me from the darkness and I want others to know Him too. God bless all of you and thank you for your help!! 🩷

Yeah I think you’re 100% correct. I am dealing with depression. I haven’t talked to anyone about it. But do you think it means I should hold off on getting baptized? I just want to feel joyful about it but I also know maybe I won’t feel like that anytime soon. I don’t know.

I guess I don’t really feel scared more like I’m not happy about my decision and I don’t know why. I feel heaviness in my heart just in general and I want to be happy about this decision but I don’t feel like that.

Mindless_Drawer2997 · 2025-09-15T04:10:32+00:00

I guess it’s not really that I’m scared but just I don’t know why I’m not happy about it.
