Life Changes and Moves? - Lemmy.world

Hi all :) Thanks for taking the time to read this. So I’ve had a pretty successful life abroad as an American (woman if that matters), but I’m in my late 20s and kind of am at a crossroads. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age (fortunately) but…weirdly kind of “forgot” about it? Until I was in my early 20s lmao. I’m on Dexedrine ER and it does help a bit with my attentiveness but holy hell does it not help my emotional state sometimes. Anyway. I recently got laid off from a job in a foreign country (where I rely on a work visa to stay) and I have three months to figure out what I want to do. Naturally, I’m in a precarious financial and personal state - so queue ADHD brain eating me alive for all of my past mistakes and potential reasons to be on the lay off roles. I guess I have two points, and sorry for the wall of text; 1, I’d have to cross an ocean to move back home with my (thankfully!) supportive and loving parents. They don’t live in a great area so I am worried about that, but the idea of recouping from the exhaustion of living and working abroad for a long time is appealing… 2, BUT, I have the issue of healthcare to consider and current debts to pay off that I will accrue if I leave without a job lined up in my host country or at home. I guess the main question to consider, probably more from a mental health standpoint more than anything else is - do I just go home now? Save my money, skip trying to find a job in my host country, recuperate at home with family even if it means my meds may lapse for a time?
