That's a shame.
When the optician first tried me out for contacts he did the tear test and told me "you won't have any trouble!" and he was right, i used to wear them for far too long, every day from when I got up to when I went to bed, and also when driving around in my open kit car, which i did for a lot of each year, with no goggles or anything on. I used to stay overnight at people's places unexpectedly and just took them out and wrapped them in tissue, put em in my pocket. following morning licked them and put them back in. But that was my downfall as the eyes can only take so long of that.
I much preferred ordinary hard ones, have since tried the soft ones and couldn't stand them. If I was back in my early twenties or even 30s and still single I daresay I'd have persevered! Vanity, oh vanity!
If they knew your problem I cannot understand why they gave you ones which just made them falling out worse. Sounds as if soft ones might have worked better but then maybe your prescription wouldn't have been possible.
My bruv got contacts at the same time as I did. He only wore them for a short time, we were both the same as far the lenses were concerned but he just couldn't be bothered. Some of it deffo is down to personal attitude to them.
Now of course I have developing cataracts. It is tempting to get them to put the vision corrected lenses in, but that is much more expensive. My stepson has had his "Lasiked" and he loves it.
So many more options nowadays, but none cheap and all with dangers. Think I'll stick with the specs, at least for now!
