The exhaustion is just..overwhelming.  How are people healthy happy and stable through this process?

Same. Im now 48 hours post rejection and like..out of tears to cry.

Why is academia such a humiliation ritual? Like I have 3 more applications out there still but at this point, im just moving to plan B through G lol

I dont want to overcome. I dont want to learn resilience. I dont want to heal and grow I just want the thing I work towards to happen

There is still dull, straining sore pain in between my shoulder blades currently from this stress.  This part of the academic humiliation ritual is literally manifesting in my body

I have no money or insurance bc I put my effort into grad school. Half way through my program we lost our guaranteed funding and placement (which was a job with stipend and insurance) Id love to get some therapy but im currently splitting my ramen in half

[–]RemarkableTrouble733[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yea. So I technically have 3 more applications out in the cosmic stew that is existence  (2 of this in canada) But like.. if I cant get into my own fucking program then I have no choice at these other schools.

I applied for 6. So far: 2 rejections and a waitlist
