These past months have been full of highs and lows, and I’m not sure how to feel about all of this regarding moving forward. I swallowed the pill 6 months ago and have made enormous progress from where I began, but I keep hitting setback after setback with little reward.

Just when I felt like I was breaking out of a slump regarding women, school, and work, I immediately fell back into it. I have no trouble getting numbers and my game is tight nowadays so I hardly get rejected, but I have trouble having girls follow through for an actual date even though I feel like I’m setting it up well. I had luck with one girl who I was really into, but I have a checkered history with a lot of her sorority sisters (and I’m not super discreet about approaching and I feel like I should not be ashamed for wanting to hit on other women), so she eventually started fading. Lastly, I was assaulted by an ex girlfriend and former oneitis who was trying to make another guy jealous and tried to forcefully make out with me at a bar, then started breaking down in front of me when she realized what she had done. It was a lot to deal with.

Work has sucked, I didn’t finish too well in school, and overall, I’m reaching a serious burnout phase. I’m tired of all these setbacks and I know that I need to make serious changes to advance to the next level that I want to advance to, I’m just not sure what action to take. I have a month until school starts back up to devote any sort of work to myself and to work.

Where should I go from here?

TLDR: having trouble even though my game is tight, losing focus on school and my job, reaching burnout phase, not sure where to go from here or what is the best mindset to have.
