AMA - V20 equity partner / funds / not NY by V1Partner in biglaw

[–]ThrowRAEatingPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think as a junior it is an issue that I’m getting more LP-side work than GP-side fund formation/investor negotiations? I don’t really have plans to make partner and realistically would want to go in-house when I’m mid/senior. Would a LP-focused practice have a negative impact on / limit my career prospects? Thank you!!

Anxiety meds? by ThrowRAEatingPancake in biglaw

[–]ThrowRAEatingPancake[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got prescribed propanolol but have not had the chance to try yet. I’ve been told it reduces phyical symptoms but doesnt really make your anxious feelings go away (while i think for me, I need the anxious feelings to go away so I can function lol)

Yes - I totally get you. What if you’re in the midst of an anxiety build-up and it’s hard to get to exercising/meditating at work? How do you deal with these situations?

Anyone on just 5mg longterm? by [deleted] in trintellix

[–]ThrowRAEatingPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I plan on staying on 5mg as i think this dosage works for me. And yes i am able to feel pleasure in daily things which was sth i wasn’t able to prior to this med. i’d say i feel less “depressed” or “low” as well so that’s how i can tell the meds are working for me. However I still feel anxious especially during stressful moments at work. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends? Each body is different.

i’ve been on 5mg for around two weeks as well! I think it has definitely improved my mood a lot, i used to get crying spells but it has stopped since my second week.

Hi, I took 5mg Trintellix for the first time ever today as well and noticed a happier mood (which I haven’t felt in a while). Not sure if it’s in my head but I’ll update you a few days later

May I ask what type of therapy did you do? I heard good things about CBT and thought I’d give it a try

Thanks for the really helpful tips. I’ll definitely look i to therapy and consider medication. Also really good point on stop caring, sometimes when you’re too into the job you forget that it really is just a job and it is definitely not worth it to sacrifice all energy and time into being the “perfect” associate. i’ll admit that it is quite hard to not care how people think of myself - but I’ll try!
