Any other lawyers suffering from depression and anxiety? I'm pretty tired and regretful of all the life choices I made to end up in misery in a career I don't enjoy. Screw the SG emphasis on prestige, success and achievement above all else

I used to.

Things only got better after I moved inhouse and stopped hanging out with people in the profession.

I stayed in practice, but stopped hanging out with people in the profession. Did me wonders.

NUS is pretty sh*t but even it is above SIM-KCL

I hear that mentors are more important than the firm you are in if you want to learn the tools of the trade. Can anyone name some good mentors I should look out for in some of the international firms or big local firms doing dispute resolution?

Even Flinders and Murdoch are above KCL, so no surprises there.

I hear you friend. Well thanks to the government implementing CECA, I managed to quit the rat race in Singapore and travel to India to pick up yoga, and am now a stress-free yoga guru for overweight housewives and leery old men in a busy intersection of Gujarat, India. Home may be a thin sheet of mattress in a dingy flat with regular brownouts but my heart is full. It is here I live with my newly met Gujarati boyfriend Arjun, who aside from being enrolled in the world-renowned and Singapore-recognised Uptron university is also teaching me how to speak Gujarati as expressions of love is part of my love language.

Life is great in Gujarat if you like dumpster diving and fighting for expired naans with rats the size of my former toy poodle in Singapore, and I love to watch manly Arjun fend them off with the grace of a Bollywood star. Sometimes I do feel a tinge of regret in leaving practice when my ex-NUS law classmates DM me 'Why you like that' or 'Sis u siao ah', but then I head to the nearest ten rupees an hour internet shop to peruse salary.sg and my resolve to settle in Gujarat and eventually become Arjun's loving wife becomes stronger.

Carpe diem, or as they say in Gujarati as Arjun lovingly taught me on my first day, meree gendon ko chooso my learned friends.
