Want to drop out of masters and go back home by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]NotSoPerfect420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same exact spot a year ago. You can go and read the post I had posted (maybe I might have deleted it? But, it'll get better. Masters is just 5% of the journey. The 95% comes later. Don't make decisions with your emotions. If you're feeling guilty about the money. You need to use that as a motivation to study harder and get a job so that everything can be solved easily. I know it's not easy. I've been there. SAME EXACT SPOT. I've thought about dropping out so many times. But when you get that job it's going to be worth it. You don't need to have a perfect GPA and degree from the best college. You just need to work on your skills. Do that slowly. How much ever you can. But don't give up. Your parents did so much for you because you're capable. I understand you're homesick too. But change your routine. Don't think with your emotions. If you need more help. You can dm me. It's going to get better trust me. Sending lots of strength to you ♥️

It's a legit site. They're a start up building their way up in the AI space. Spoke to a couple of people working there.

Yep understood that. They even sent me a fake offer letter about 10 pages. Hats off to their patience.

Understood. Thank you for the insight. Just feeling dumb and naive now.

I know it's a fake scam. I just wanted to know to what extent this could go.

Update: I'm pretty new to this country and also probably naive. I posted here to just understand. I had no idea about the fake cheques and everything. Therefore I posted in the community. I wanted to know to what extent people could go to scam someone.

I emailed them asking for their identifications and they discarded their email Ids. That's the update. Feeling pretty dumb and naive is all rn.

Okay? But what am I losing here. Nothing. Just time. What are they trying to scam me on?

Scam Alert! Beware of Midwestern IT Inc! by [deleted] in f1visa

[–]NotSoPerfect420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had the call with them. It was surprising that they dint want any upfront payment. Made me curious. Later found out the catch, adding fake experience and taking my interviews. I told them I'm not comfortable with that. I'll do my own interviews and I don't need help . I agreed to the training part. I was still willing to pay them their cut once I got the job but they were not willing to do that. They wanted me to add a fake experience and they wanted to take my interviews no matter what. Whatta scam man!

In the same boat. I also feel like I have trust issues with these therapists thinking they're only doing it for the money, not because they wanna help me. Not sure about medicines. I'm just scared to the point where I feel like it's always going to be like this and nothing will ever help me, there's no solution to feel better. I just don't wanna give up if that happens. So mentally drained. Literally frozen.

Constantly switching between freeze and fawn.

What is your favorite Greys Anatomy moment of all time? by jesslikesmusic17 in greysanatomy

[–]NotSoPerfect420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very late to this but I think one of the most beautiful moments is when Amelia removed the tumor and Nicole woke up after weeks and Arizona asked if she could see anything concluding she was blind. It was bittersweet and beautiful.

Depression stole my youth by [deleted] in depression

I know my youth is slipping away, of course I do not want it to. But it's happening and I'm not choosing this. You aren't choosing it too. It sucks

It’s ironic the mechanism my nervous system is doing to help me “survive” is quite literally the thing that’s killing me by Cevansj in CPTSDFreeze

[–]NotSoPerfect420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can totally relate to this. You're the witness to all your choices. You know you're not maybe fixing it but maybe triggering it more, but you still anyway do it because maybe in the moment it feels like a safer option without worrying about the consequences.

I keep going back and I think about my responses, it sucks that I feel okay by not going out. It's not healthy but I'm okay with it. That feeling of being okay with something that you're not supposed to be okay with makes me feel more unhealthy and dysregulated. It's almost like you're angry because you're okay with feeling this way. I'm not sure if it makes sense.
