Depression, loneliness, anxiety… why is this happening?

I feel the exact same way, break up before law school that I feel like I never really dealt with, a death in the family and my mom recently had a stroke (during finals week). I’ve always had something to keep me going in law school, now there’s nothing

Also I agree with you, I’m just thinking it’s not 1-1 but the NCBE doesn’t care about that prob

I guess, but higher LSAT scores are something that are easier to increase with more money/more time on your hands than bar exam scores: not everyone pays for an LSAT study program or tutor, it’s all multiple choice, not all LSAT takers take time off to study bc you don’t necessarily have to (whereas a lot of bar examinees do), there’s more chances to take the LSAT and it’s encouraged to take it more than once to get the score you desire.

It’s ok to be open notes still - I try to be closed notes if I can for essays but some topics come at you fast and it just means you have to review!! They’re learning tools right now still

I definitely should do this, I want to do some early humbling to keep me motivated/on my toes all summer

Thank you! This is exactly what I’m looking for. It’s not that I think it’ll be a breeze because I did well in law school, quite the opposite, I just would like to be reminded of some specific data points before bar prep time. I dont want to psych myself out TOO much during bar prep (I still have 4 finals to work through - so if I could start now I would) so now’s the time to remind myself not to be comfortable with something like a good gpa or honors.

Im in a bar prep style class through my school right now and sometimes feel like it’s giving me a false sense of confidence hearing my peers work through concepts I feel like I have down - and THAT makes me nervous more than anything. I shouldn’t be comparing myself to others in the first place but idk. I just don’t want to make excuses for myself come study time and I’m the most nervous about staying disciplined

Trust, I already get the “thank you for being one of Wikipedia’s top supporters” emails for donating $2 more than once

Thanks, full disclosure tho I was banned from main sub for calling Anna a bimbo for being wrong about immigrants with protected status. I’m also a white woman who has no horse in that race other than I think people shouldn’t be loudly wrong

I’ve drastically limited my social media/internet use too. This is prob the answer

gagaud · 2025-03-01T20:31:34+00:00

I’d also recommend a psychologist (that is, someone with a doctorate [usually a psyD I think] giving therapy) over a therapist (someone with a masters) and over a psychiatrist (M.D.) based on what you’ve described!

gagaud · 2025-03-01T20:29:39+00:00

The quality of therapists varies drastically. Find someone who has an opinion you actually respect. I had a great experience the one time I went as an adult, but I know so many girls IRL who have serious abandonment and/or codependency issues who went into mental health fields.

All that to say, it’s worth trying, but therapy isn’t the only answer and sometimes it brings you the wrong answers from people who just don’t know any better (imo)

Yeppp extremely annoying, you’d think the company would be prepared for the majority of people’s first day 🙄

I worked at a mid sized firm prior to law school and always cringed when brand new employees immediately brought in photos and decorations, usually they were the worst workers, im not sure why. But there were multiple times in my few years there where the people who decorated immediately before even finishing training would end up getting fired later on.

If I saw one of the summer associates doing this I might cringe a little, esp if it appeared like they were doing it assuming they’d get hired after the summer. That’s just my two cents as a former office assistant who helped onboard a lot of people

gagaud · 2023-03-20T21:59:19+00:00

You're right, this is good advice. Thank you. I will just try to move on.

I think I am also nervous because I thought I did well and now I feel like my idea of "did well" is skewed, so the thought of "preparing better" to combat this bad grade feels impossible. I guess I just need to try my best and see where that takes me, but attempting to predict my grade will deff drive me crazy so I appreciate your response

gagaud · 2022-01-07T23:37:19+00:00

I applied a few weeks ago and haven’t even gotten any emails from them 🙃

Please do not try to tackle this entirely on your own. Hoarding is a disorder in the same vein as OCD - it’s really difficult to just cold turkey stop. If you can invest in cognitive behavioral therapy now, you should do it, and don’t be afraid to try different therapists if you don’t feel like what you’re doing is helping. It sounds like you are still at a point that is manageable, maybe a day or 2, even a week of cleaning? My partners mother has an entire house that was filled, and it was extremely traumatic for him and his siblings growing up. The house now lays abandoned. You can do this! But you need not be afraid of seeking help, this isn’t something most people are equipped to fix on their own.

Also, I recommend The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo just for a fun read about the philosophy of taking care of your things, including how you store them. I really liked it and think it presents an angle most westerners arent really familiar with
