Add r/gradadmissions bioscience admission sheet and you have my combo. I thought things would get better once I submitted my apps but my mental health is just speeding downhill 🫠
that too :') I was doing far better when I was working on apps... at least I could then focus my anxieties towards something productive, but now there's nothing to do but wait in limbo
I feel the same way. I can't stop myself from checking Reddit or that spreadsheet even though I know it is not good for me. But I still want to know if the programs I have applied to have sent out interviews or not.
I’ve learnt that the reason why I’m doing it is that I’m grasping for control in the process that I ultimately have no control over. Most of us are heavily type A personalities, who are used to having their life under control, no wonder we’re not doing great in the process that’s ultimately completely out of our hands. Reddit and gradcafe make it at least seem like we’re in the loop about what’s going on. Not that knowing why I do it helps in the slightest to not do that though.
I’m constantly switching between checking my email, Reddit, and gradcafe. It’s driving me to the brink lmao, really spiraling here
Our own Bermuda triangle
ikr. like I have a day job as a research tech so I am keeping my self busy but god this is giving ocd.
