[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took a new job because we needed better money. It's at a more prestigious firm and I got in due to my specialty and some really amazing recommendations. The problem is, that I think I'm in over my head. Everything I'm turning in is getting axed and the uppers are expressing serious reservations about my work product. I'm doubling down and doing my best, and they are really unhappy with me. I think I may need to admit that [b]I'm just not smart enough or a good enough [/b]attorney for this job. The problem is that I'm here. If I fail, I let down my mentor who got me here and pretty much destroy my career. All this is leading me to completely panic and do even worse.

I'm working until 1:00 am every night, but I'm starting to realize that I just don't have what it takes. I'm horrified and so depressed. I've never felt this way before - everyone has always loved my work up until now. I guess I was just at a place with worse work, but I actually thought of myself as a good writer before this.

Has anyone ever experienced this? What did you do??[/quote]

Do NOT say this! We and you know it is not true. Maybe you are working too hard and becoming burnt out and inefficient. Be good to yourself. It's okay because in the end, things balance out and everything will fall into place (with this firm or somewhere else). In other words, if for some reason it does not work out at your new job, you will be presented with the opportunity to go where you are meant to be. You will be okay. I wish you peace.[/quote]
