I feel like if I was able to push myself or had an opportunity to challenge myself I'd go on and do some great things but currently I'm in a position where I absolutely hate the work I have experience in, I've been fired and am now unemployed, and I've squandered any purpose I could have found.
The only time I felt anything in life was back in college when I was learning math that actually challenged me but the real world is just a tangled mess of networking and kissing ass and I have no desire to navigate that jungle. It's like the world is letting me rot and die and I'm beginning to accept it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nothing wrong with it, just time to find other sources of meaning outside of work. I mean I scored like stupid good on all my tests throughout my entire life I just think the real world doesn't give a shit. I know it's a cliche that people insist they're smarter than they actually are but I am fairly intelligent, at least math-wise, I'm not good at words and stuff. Maybe if I was more clever I'd find ways to market myself and become massively successful but the opportunity is not presenting itself because the real world doesn't care about me, nobody does, and I'm definitely going to die alone. ...

you can complain about how you're wasted potential when you're 60, right now you're just regular potential. go on a trip, travel back home, whatever, just do something to get your head cleared so you arent hyperfocused on one bad moment that will eventually be a a tiny blip in your career history

Can you substitute teach in your state? Many schools are desperate for math teachers, but rules vary by state as to whether you need a teaching credential to sub. It's not a career, but it is income. Do you have a degree in math? You might even be able to teach at the CC level (in case you hate kids or something).

I have shitty government insurance that covers nothing.i just had to buy my prescription off-insurance (doesnt kick in on my new job til next month) and it was relatively cheap. Like $25 for a month supply just schedule a preventive appointment (you almost certainly get those yearly with your insurance) and tell your doctor you feel bad all the time and theyll prescribe you anti-depressants. It was literally that easy for me also you used to talk about all your savings, surely you have something to spare for your own mental health --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...

The first thing is to realize that test scores mean nothing once you're out of school. Success is more about having the trust of your coworkers so work to build that trust. Yeah, it seems like a shitty system but think of it this way: these people don't know you. They don't know if you're competent and they don't know if you'll have their back. They may be as afraid of you as you may be afraid of them, so show them there's nothing to fear.
Also sounds like you hated your field. I can relate. Maybe it's time to get retrained? People who are good at math and logic can have a lot of options. --- ... ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was a very driven, extra mile worker but after the beat down my attendings started dealing out on a daily basis, and after being reminded of all of the extra expectations on top of getting through a day at workneed to show a study plan with an improvement course and to stick to it, an administrative plan, a constant update on my research which they want to be as complex as possibleI just recently said fuck it, I just need to get through and join a private group afterwards.
