Trial today

[Gandolfication]

I have a trial today.Sometimes I like parts of these, to do what I do well, and get to try to help solve a problem for a client.

This one's given me fits though. Last time I continued it on own medical emergency.

You never feel ready for trial, but this one I've had so much of avoidance and procrastination, and quite a few of the issues and the people including my own client are repulsive to me (and it's not even a criminal).

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be fine.

I'm simultaneously stressing about all the other cases and clients I'm currently behind in along with financial stress.

Probably everyone here can relate in some way and we'll know what I'm talking about with job and financial stress or some analog.

It's really nice to be able to come here and know that I can post something like this without judgment.

I hope everybody here has a good day today.

My mantra is one thing at a time, one client at a time, and breathe.

I agree with the others. Face what's in front of you now. You will get to the others and everything will work out

No judgement just support.

how did the trial go today?

[Gandolfication in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

I was able to settle about 70% of the trial issues, and so we tried the motion to show cause and for child support, and presented about the best version of our defense I thought we could have. My client, did not self destruct, which was a surprise. We did well. He will definitely lose and have child support established, as he should and as I advised him. But I put on the best defense for him we could have I think.

It is so true that often the anticipation and worry over things, is worse than the things we dread, themselves. I'm still doing it now. I got sick over the weekend with the flu or something, but mainly I'm just dreading and avoiding work that makes me anxious beyond what I seem to able to deal with effectively. I keep trying, but I'm just getting more and more exhausted, and need to either change or find some relief.

God I hope so. I have tried other types, especially sales but also other things. I'm just lost right now

I would give an appendage for that
