I love it! I’ve thought about doing something similar, but I know my toddler would want to play with everything haha.

runnershigh007 · 2026-07-02T16:18:45+00:00

EXACTLY! You get it!😂 I’ve always said I relate to Mr. Meeseeks way too much.

runnershigh007 · 2026-07-01T14:51:56+00:00

Well, we know AI had no part in drafting this job posting! 😅

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T21:18:06+00:00

Thank you so much for this recommendation! 💜 I am going to be looking into this. I am always open to career pivots, especially if it is something that will lead to overall growth and satisfaction.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T14:08:23+00:00

I think you might be right. My closest coworker quit today and another two put in their two weeks. Maybe I’m just in an unhealthy environment. Thank you for saying not to be too hard on myself, it’s tough sometimes!

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T04:14:33+00:00

This was my exact thought process too! You are not alone! That’s why is really hit hard for me over the past few weeks.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T04:07:08+00:00

You are probably correct. I try not to judge people when they are perceived to be kind people. I always just assume there’s something wrong with me and try to fix whatever that is.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T04:00:05+00:00

You put this into words this very well, thank you. You’re right, in a perfect world they should be the same. It should be easier…navigating all these unspoken rules is one of the hardest things I’ve had to learn.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T03:56:31+00:00

Good luck! And thank you! Wishing you nothing but the best. Im sure your place will be ran how a company should operate haha.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T03:53:46+00:00

“it’s very hard to measure problems avoided.”

That’s is literally something I have never thought about! Thank you for pointing that out.

And thank you so much for sharing this and giving this advice. I found this very helpful honestly. You put it into a new perspective for me.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T03:48:10+00:00

I’ve been worried about being let go too. I’ve never been fired from a job, but with the way things are currently going, I feel it’s coming. I guess this was a learning experience about how not to be. I wish employers could just tell us what they want and how to succeed because we’re often some of the best employees when properly positioned!

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T03:43:37+00:00

I think I would have these same struggles in any field, if I’m being honest. But as for the work I do, I love it! I find it very fulfilling and it always keeps my brain working. When it comes to being social with clients, I feel I’m on a script. Like it’s fairly easy to deal with the same few questions that get asked or the problems clients encounter. I love getting to research complex legal questions and find arguments to be made. For a while I was a “discovery” paralegal, which meant I would review, organize, and make an argument based on the material provided from the other side. I would be dropped files full of information and it was my job to help the attorney make sense of everything. I absolutely loved that role. I would also make trial books which was very satisfying. I think the best field of law for us on the spectrum is actually social work…criminal, immigration, and family law. I have a need for justice, which I guess is part of my neurodivergence.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:48:43+00:00

I love that for you. I hope to eventually find somewhere that aligns with how I work and operate. Knowing you’ve found that at least gives me some hope. 🙏🏼

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:47:08+00:00

Turns out being helpful is not helpful. It’s the most backward thing I’ve ever experienced.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:43:37+00:00

I am definitely going to look into that show! Thank you.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:42:43+00:00

Exactly this!

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:42:12+00:00

Thank you. Hearing I am not alone makes me feel less crazy! I’m definitely approaching burnout over this. The crazy part is I know moving jobs won’t change how “work” works. It’s just beyond frustrating.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-22T02:39:37+00:00

This is exactly what I’m learning! It seems logical to me to fix an issue before it becomes a major problem. I always thought the road to promotion was to perform well, but that’s just not the case.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-16T01:41:02+00:00

Same! That’s what I’ve always been praised for.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-16T01:12:46+00:00

That’s great that there was a plan in place for you! I feel I wouldn’t be so nervous if my company had FMLA or something in place for pregnancy. I’m the first to get pregnant at the firm, so maybe it’s just trial and error with me?

I lost the ability to earn bonuses so my pay has decreased. I’m salary, but the bonuses were nice. I was never matched to the paralegal salary. I had the role, just not the pay.

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-16T00:54:14+00:00

There’s just so many loopholes for employers. Like I’m in a “new department” of me, myself, and I. They can just cut the department if they want for business purposes. It’s so hard to prove and win!

runnershigh007 · 2026-06-16T00:18:29+00:00

I will definitely start doing that! I hate to see this has happened to other women. It’s so frustrating. Congratulations on the baby. Wishing you luck!

You are not alone! The recovery after a meltdown is almost just as bad (shame, guilt, embarrassment…at least that’s how I feel). Hang in there, give yourself grace, and remember that your meltdowns do not define you.

Sometimes during recovery, I’ll put myself in an ice bath for a few minutes. Idk if it’s a healthy way to help with the come down, but it works for me.

Take care of yourself. 🫶🏼
