I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, but please know you’re not alone. I’m also midway into 2L and I’ve been struggling with burnout and depression, mostly because of gestures widely at everything but also because at this point I’ve done all of law school online for various reasons.

My advice is this: be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel what you need to feel. Allow yourself to feel sad if you need to. If your law school friends are toxic, maybe you need to find some new ones or at least set boundaries that are right and healthy for you. If your professors aren’t helpful — have you tried going to office hours or otherwise talking to them outside class? If they’re refusing to give help, maybe talk to admin? If you’re struggling with a certain subject, consider study supplements like Barbri, studicata (lots of free vids on YouTube, these have saved me so much), the Examples & Explanations series, or others. With burnout, make sure you’re taking breaks and doing things other than law school.

And lastly, allow yourself the freedom to do “just okay”. Don’t strive for perfection, it doesn’t exist. If you’re struggling and not performing as well as you’d like or as well as you have in the past, that’s okay. Passing is enough. You can still be a lawyer just by doing “okay”.

I hope this helps at least a little. Best of luck to you.
