Pushed out and forced to rehab
I took a lot of adderall to perform at my old job and things were going quite well. Got promoted and was working at a great GP making bread. Then bam, my doctor forced me to stop adderall cause he thought I was too stressed and I was quickly pushed out of my job. IMO, I just had a stressful job and I overshared with my psych.
After that, I got a new job at a small dead end GP and I became very depressed. Now my family is forcing me to rehab and my life is ruined. I haven’t lost my job and I’ll go back but it’s definitely a huge demotion and idk how to rebound to my old self without adderall.
Should I run away and start my own business or something? Should I go to business school? Should I become a waiter or other lower paying job that makes me happier? Should I move to a third world country?
I would recommend eating healthy, daily exercise, some antidepressants and some self reflection. Corpo office jobs are retarded at the end of day and not worth losing your health and wellness over. Maybe look at chiller shops in asset management
Look after your health man - I’d rather be sober with a healthy mind and family at a “dead end job” than be an addict at a top shop.
Your family, friends, and self will be better off with you being mentally and physically healthy than with you being a rich addict.
I was a raging alcoholic and got pushed out of my last fund. Found a way to lateral. Had to leave my hometown and restart at my seniority level path wise, but overall it was good for me. I sobered up, found God, and met a wonderful girl. Really cleaned me up. Now I'm in a much better spot.
Don't let substance abuse defeat you. Get sober, find a new place, and get healthy. 5 years from now you'll look back at what was and be proud of how far you've come.
nvm
Rehab isn't the end, it's a reset. I've been to rehab myself at Profound Treatment and came out a completely new person, but you have to actually engage with it instead of treating it as a pause. Running to a new country or a lower-paying job won't fix a chemical imbalance. Go, get your baseline back, and then figure out the career rebound. You can't build a new life while you're still running on empty.
Sue your psychologist
Mosts psychs prescribing speed, especially if to kids, deserve the death penalty
