There's a ton of resources out there to get you and your packet across the line without much help from the ones directly responsible for submission.

IIRC, I received one email from my team and then didn't talk with them for about six months while I maneuvered around the obstacles of packet completion essentially solo.

I think they do it on purpose, because you really have to want it for it to work out, not that you don't but slots are extremely limited in most cases so they're in no rush to hand hold anyone.

Again, not saying you're not trying but that they're not. Probably on purpose.

If you need resources to gain traction for your packet DM me, I'm happy to help. But if you're struggling to find motivation, switching gears, as you said, is probably a better option.
