[QUOTE="startupgeek, post: 236603, member: 32806"] I agree - although I don't ask this on the forum much, but I do it in my head as a way to manage expectations! I still have hope, but it's more like 'Even if I don't get it, it will be okay! I have thought about this as a potential outcome, and I have tried my best, so I can now move on to bigger and better things!' This mindset has helped me tremendously with a lot of my PFOs recently! Last 2 cycles, I was breaking down and crashing out after every rejection and was consistently blaming myself, and it was terrible for my mental health! I hope that everyone remains optimistic, but it's also healthy to get a reality check beforehand from time to time :D Btw, all the best to everyone who is still waiting on Weil! (myself included :p) [/QUOTE]
