The Lawyer, the Addict
I completely understand this guy&#x27;s mindset.<p>I am a 23 year old programmer who just graduated college. My goal is to work at a place that makes me happy. I think the first step is by working on personal projects to post on my Github and put on my resume. But when I get home after a depressing 8 hour day of staring at code that makes no sense and accomplishing nothing, I&#x27;m burnt out and tired and depressed and more coding is the last thing I want to do. So I&#x27;m trying to get a prescription for Adderall, because last time I took Adderall I was extremely focused and interested in programming, and I got tons of work done on personal projects that were a huge part of getting me the (albeit shitty) job I have now.<p>I have only one friend, and he usually hangs out with his girlfriend, so I have basically no social life. When I want some down time, I instantly get depressed because I have nothing to do and no one to do anything with. So I smoke weed. I&#x27;m instantly happy, and video games and movies are instantly interesting and enjoyable again.<p>I don&#x27;t see how I can escape from these things. I truly feel like drugs are the only thing keeping me going right now.
