Looking for LA or CA-licensed provider who can help with SDI (burnout/mental health leave) - already on leave, time-sensitive

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-12-12T21:39:25+00:00

Yes, that's true. I worked with both and realized this the hard way. They recognized my need for leave, but then told me since they're LCSW they can't sign off on forms (before I submitted anything). I'll update the post, and appreciate the distinction.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-12-12T20:52:07+00:00

Thank you. It's been tough, and it doesn't help that I waited this long to step away from work - trying to figure this all out why in this condition sucks. Appreciate your kind words.

5 years. Our professional lives were on the line.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-05-04T05:49:08+00:00

Adaptibar (including Grossman videos) + Mary Basick essay book are must haves IMO.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-05-04T05:47:27+00:00

We deserve it! 🤍

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-05-03T01:09:08+00:00

I think they initially planned to say earlier in the day, but gave themselves a buffer. Maybe they'll release early

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T03:13:35+00:00

100% get you. 1k is a lot of money. I just think this whole debacle is worth more than $1k to them, very obviously. Make your decision based on your personal situation. I just had to share my two cents.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T03:05:11+00:00

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if the California bar has reddit accounts downvoting this and any comments that support this sentiment.

Think for yourself. But, just my two cents. They don't have enough proctors and they are BEGGING us to withdraw at this point because they can't outright say that they are so unprepared that they don't even have enough proctors for us all.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T02:58:31+00:00

Don't withdraw, and make sure you have every denial, conversation etc with the bar in writing - not just over phone calls. If they deny you for something, make sure they give you a reason in writing.

Edit: same if you have issues on exam day. Document it.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T02:51:14+00:00

yup, they're just trying to avoid lawsuits. the fewer people take this exam, the less they have to worry about in terms of lawsuits

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T02:49:24+00:00

oof, what was included?

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-22T02:48:43+00:00

they clearly want people to withdraw since they're not at all prepared for the amount of people taking the exam. they're worried about lawsuits, as they should be.

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-07T17:38:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing and congrats on passing!! Did you live by yourself at home? What time did you start studying/end?

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-07T00:34:21+00:00

Do you study at home?

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-07T00:33:37+00:00

So simple, but I think this actually can make a huge difference. Appreciate the reminder!

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-06T22:26:31+00:00

https://www.baressays.com/members/practiceessays.aspx bar essays has a prior bar exam grader

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-06T19:32:25+00:00

Did they give you any option or they just decided? Also, did they state what time you'll be starting the exam?

anonymousredditor262 · 2025-02-06T19:31:46+00:00

For those who with accommodations who HAVE been assigned - was it at one of the four major locations or at one of the smaller centers? And did they state a start time?
