Today is a new day.
It’s been a ROUGH week. I’m a trial lawyer, and court was rough. Personal stuff was rough (not because of my family, but because of actual personal stuff). My past came back to haunt me this week, unasked for, uninvited. It was ROUGH. I am still trying to reflect and move past this week. Which, as a trial attorney, is difficult. It’s kind of hard to move on and work on yourself and heal when you have work, and have a mental illness. I don’t know if people without mental illness truly understand this. It’s like we have multiple levels or layers of difficulty. But the first layer, the base layer, is always the mental illness. I try not to really think of that; I am on medication, therapy, I am well. But deep down, that base layer of mental illness is always the first layer of difficulty that just adds onto all of the other layers I face. So this week, I had the mental illness, my personal stuff, and then the actual work issues.
Anyone else feel like they have this base level that is always there? Let me know!
