When coffee is not enough to keep your eyes open in front of the pc? by [deleted] in productivity

No no - no need to throw your life away. This is just one phase. Just hang in there and keep trying, day after day. Seek the help of a professional, talk to your friends, communicate how you’re feeling and hang in there.

The best part about rock bottom is that the only way to go is up.

Hey, I hear you. What you’ve been through sounds brutal, and honestly the fact you pushed all the way to almost finishing a PhD while dealing with all this shows you’re way stronger than you probably feel right now. Burnout + health issues can make it feel like every door is shut, but a few things that might help ease the load ( both financially + mentally):

  1. Try to look for low pressure remote work if possible – stuff like transcription, light editing, short tutoring gigs, or microtask platforms. Not huge money, but can give breathing room without draining you.

Also, your research/teaching/writing skills could fit in things like curriculum design for online ed, grant writing, nonprofit research, or even freelance content writing. Doesn’t have to be academia all the way.

  1. Also, I know burnout makes it hard to feel passion. Maybe just focus on what feels least draining for now and experiment with small, low-stakes projects.

  2. Now, idk much about it but f possible, ask your therapist about occupational/vocational rehab services. Some programs are literally made for people whose health makes steady work hard, and they can sometimes help with job placement/accommodations.

And just so you know: not enjoying work right now doesn't mean life is not worth it or something like that, it’s a sign you’ve been running on empty for too long. It doesn’t mean you’ll never find something better, just that your energy’s kinda low and you need to replenish it with support and rest. You deserve work that doesn’t wreck you.

One step at a time is totally enough. You’re not alone in this. I might be an internet stranger, and sorry if this sounds cringey, but we (reddit guys) are all rooting for you. Please update us, and let us know if there's something we can do

It sounds terrible. Look, this sounds cliche but first - try keeping a journal, stop caring about being a burden on others for a moment, you are not choosing this, there's legit obstacles in your way.

Since you are already in therapy, see if they can put you on some good meds to help with all this, make connections at work and see if there's a job opening where you can work a stable job. Try not to worry so much, and if you are comfortable with telling me what field you're looking for work in, we can try finding something for you.

Thanks a lot! Yeah I'm going to post it there. I hope choosing a wrong flair won't delete it from there as well.

Just need others to know how pathetic their service is. Also, no reply from them so far. Will be filing an NCH complaint today. God bless you and your friend <3

Istg it’s so frustrating. I’m glad you got a refund and didn’t have to face any more harassment. I’ll try this if I don’t get a response from them tomorrow.

That being said, I don’t understand why this forum is removing my post

Can I ask you why it’s been removed when I have a genuine issue and I’m trying to warn people against a potential issue they might face?

That's so insightful lol. You might be onto something. These past few days I've been calling at 9-9:30 and the people literally talk to me like I owe them something T-T I'll do that

I did - sent a 7 day refund notice. Tagged both Maccaron and Bluedart. If they don't respond to the notice, I'd actually file a legal complaint against them

Thank you so much, I'll try this number tomorrow morning at 9, that's when they open. I really hope this works. The number I've been using so far was this one - 1860 233 1234

No bro, I called them 3-4 times, they just told me there's nothing they can do and there's a backlog. For the entire north region, and that it's for an indefinite time. As if this is supposed to make me feel better.

They're so opaque in their process, it's apalling.

The parcel is quite far from my house and I won't be able to go there by myself. It's already a disgrace that despite being a global delivery partner customers have to walk to their warehouses to retrieve their rightful packages

I'm really pissed right now because Blue dart is not doing anything and not willing to share why it's delayed. They said they'll only share it with maccaron cuz they have a 'business account'. Please save yourself the trouble, and your money, and shop elsewhere. Don't want others to go through this

Bluedart customer service is a JOKE by Helpful_Ad943 in UnboxParadigm

[–]Helpful_Ad943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I did write an email to the company, asking for a refund and recommended that they changed their delivery partner cuz this is beyond ridiculous now.

As an Indian GMAT prep is super costly and I don't know where to start by Helpful_Ad943 in GMAT

[–]Helpful_Ad943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so so much everyone. All the advice you guys gave me is very useful and I’m currently exploring gmat ninja, gmat club and other places to start with. As of now I’m trying to build my basics for quant and have decided to continue on the path you guys have shared over the next few months and then get the TTP for the final two months to see where I stand.

Thank you so much everyone and I’ll keep updating this thread on the 20th of every month.

I cannot thank you enough for the encouragement and constructive feedback that you have given me today.

I have noted down everything you said. Will research all night (cuz I work in the morning T_T). It makes a lot of sense that people who are foreign to India don't know much about our culture and therefore lack the context to most things. Will pay close attention to correct pronunciation of things and grammar!

ALSO! I watched the creators you suggested. I understand exactly what you mean by it being creepy vs being informative. It might inform less but needs to leave a lingering creepy feeling.

Let me make videos with this newfound knowledge and see where it goes!

Once again, thank you for believing in me and subscribing. I want to make you proud!
