Coping with going from well-off to poor

[Aakash Vijayan]

How does one cope or, if possible, develop a healthy mindset while going from well off/ upper middle class to poor? Im a recent 28 year old MBBS graduate left with no passion for medicine anymore and frankly not picking up any basic medical skills, just passing exams to get the degree, never having worked in my life going from a well off situation provided by my father and his business to becoming poor after his demise, stuck in comfort for a long time, fat, and having massive anxiety for the smallest shifts from comfort zone and carrying the pressure for having to support my diabetic mother and sister. Potentially the jobs i may get will pay Rs 20000 ( $270). Any words of advice would be great. 

I have no passion to pursue Medicine further nor do I have the funds should I want to as well

Suffering is like vomiting. You eat shit (like mould for example) and you don't even realise it. Then while you're going about your day as normal, you feel a slight bit of nausea. You may think about it, or like most people just pass it off as something not important. Then it gets bigger and bigger, to the point where you can't ignore it anymore. You go through a sort of hell in the next phase... but if you look closely, its a feeling good sort of hell. You're about to release horrible shit from your system, detox and get better. But it sure as hell doesn't always seem like that at the time. Then once you purge all that shit from your stomach, you arrive at a place that feels highly euphoric, highly cleansed, highly motivated, you feel lighter and stronger. 

This is your life in a nutshell. All the suffering that's arising from within is mental vomit that's trying to leave your system. In the next weeks, you'll be spending time letting go and purging all that mental trauma that you've been carrying for your entire life, that's being weighing you down and making your life shit for a long time. Now its time to let it go. Get it out of your system. Start releasing the horrible cravings that get you stuck eating bad food, start releasing the anxiety, start releasing the negative thoughts, start releasing the emotional problems you've had with your family, start releasing any regret from medicine or your career. Do it all so that, like vomiting, when you get through it, you'll finally feel the most euphoric you would have felt in your entire life.
