Hi Lemmy,

As the title suggested, I was kinda given soft yes and everything that my contract would get extended in the last moment I was welcomed to the news of two weeks notice. Reasoning being “unable to meet stakeholder expectations” (I pushed back few requests from a very pushy stakeholder). As an expat(international student), who just made it, I lost it all. In a moment

Here I am! I am glad I was diagnosed as an adult, but I really wish I was diagnosed as a kid (who had multiple visits to the principals office) may be I would have learnt being diplomatic more gracefully. I am just so done with my condition playing around with my life.

Parallely all my friends are empathising with me but few are insistant that I continue as an expat for more money.

I really want some wisdom from people who “know me” and understand me

Thanks!

Context: I am from India, currently working in Australia.

    I think so. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to solving this. Effort and perseverence matter. Of course, I am very biased. I never want to go back. Ever. I’ll do anything to avoid returning to the shithole country I was born. No place on earth is perfect, but my current situation is the least worst place to be.
