Felt suicidal after getting laid off last year but now finally going to IIM Shillong

I have worked for TCS for 5 years and then joined a PBC in 2021. They laid me off and it completely destroyed me. It made my heart break and I got really depressed. I consulted a psychiatrist and they prescribed me so much Alprazolam which made me feel very foggy. I got really suicidal.

I did some L$D with my friends and it completely shifted my perspective. Next day when the high wore off, I decided that I needed to switch my life around. Started CAT prep last year and got through. Life is getting better now. I work out very hard now and take care of my protein. Made sure that I stop doing mind numbing drugs and focus on Omega3s, B12, D3, Zin, C etc.

My friend recommended this app and told me to share my story. So sharing here.

Wrong messaging : - turnaround in your perspective was not due to what it is coming out but spending good time with friends which brought you back to the game called Life.

Please don't try these drugs anymore. In IIM you may have very easy access to these. And then another turnaround will occur. Or maybe you end up buying TCS who knows.

Life is bigger than career. Don't make it all about your job. Giving up isn't a solution.
