How are you guys coping with the uncertainty?

Personally, I’ve found the waiting really difficult. It feels like my life has been put on pause for months (9 months). I’m unable to properly plan, move forward, or feel settled because so much depends on this one decision, even though I’ve managed to keep busy with a plan B.

I try to stay positive, but the constant uncertainty and lack of progress has been mentally exhausting. It’s hard watching time pass and feeling like you’re stuck in the same place while life continues around you.

For those who have been waiting through the backlog, how has it affected you mentally? How do you cope with the uncertainty?
