[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 116991, member: 2672"] The advice above from [USER=3919]@Lisa Lowe[/USER] is superb. In addition to what they have said, I would contact LawCare and speak to them as soon as possible to see what support/advice they can give you: [URL]https://www.lawcare.org.uk/[/URL] In addition, I have two contradicting views though that given they are contradictory may not be helpful. 1) you have to prioritise yourself and your well being. If that means ending your vacation scheme to ensure you are well, then that has to be the outcome. But I agree with Lisa’s advice above to think about the steps and seek support to ensure you make the right decision rather than a fast decision on that. 2) With your statement about just going to a direct TC route is that I am concerned this does not remove but may just delay the challenges you are having. Yes, a vacation scheme is intense from a learning perspective (and potentially your expectations’ perspective too) but my view is that a TC is more challenging and could be more anxiety inducing. Things become more “real” during a TC and that can cause another range of anxieties in people - but it really depends what their triggers for anxiety are. Given that, there is part of me that truly believes doing a vacation scheme will at least give you the experience of understanding what could cause your anxiety in that kind of environment and then consider how you may handle it in the future. It gives you the opportunity to potentially work out how to manage the anxiety before starting a TC. To me there is a risk that this anxiety could just be delayed until a training contract starts.
