Talking

To counteract the doom and gloom in this thread - I am a lawyer with diagnosed depression and have been taking antidepressants since law school.

I would probably be the very person waxing on about how a legal career sucks, and indeed I did have that perspective in the past.

But I have met good persons in the industry, and also realised that much of what I was feeling was a result of my negative perspective. I was a miserable person, and mostly blaming my job for said misery.

Once I went to therapy and had my depression under control, I realised a legal career wasn't such a bad deal. It suits my character, and I do like my colleagues.

I just hope that you guys find some release eventually, whether by changing your job or your perspective. I know first hand how horrible it is to be constantly sad and miserable, and hope that you guys will all see better days. Know that there are still good people, good bosses and good work in the industry, and it is just a matter of finding them.
