A Word Of Encouragement
Hi friends!
Chaos and mayhem are a standard when dealing with waiting for things that are crucial to your existence. Being in a startup world for around 6 years now, chaos and mayhem become your middle name and I wanted to share a bit of advice on how I deal with those type of things.
First things first, say at least 100 times, every day for a week that you will have your EAD. If you don't believe in yourself, sure as hell no one else will.
Now that you know it's yours to have worry about things you can control and not things you can not. There is literally zero return on investment about worrying if a person somewhere will look at a paper today vs two weeks from now. You literally have zero control over that. It's very similar to worrying if it's going to rain or not. You can have an umbrella, boots and a coat but running around with your umbrella open and freaking out when it's not even raining won't do you any good.
Now that we're focusing on things we can control, think outside of the box. If you already have a work visa, great keep at it. If you don't have a visa this is a great time to work on yourself. Also great time to prep for an interview at some awesome companies that are doing amazing things. If you are in technology I'd go and start prepping for interviews in Tesla, SpaceX, Shopify, Github etc. If you're into cooking, I'd find a best restaurant in town, talk to the cook and ask to do stuff for free to learn. I bet after that and when you get your EAD you'll at least get a starting position. What ever floats your boat do that. Be excited about this and look at it as an opportunity.
Finally if you ever feel insanely depressed and just want to sleep, or even worse have suicidal thoughts (those tend to pop up after insane amounts of anger, worry and depression) know that this too shall pass and as Plato and great Stoics said "Momento Mori".
Hopefully all of this helps, and if you want to talk I'll always be around. I did previously experience insane levels of anxiety and depression and I know how it feels like. So please before you think about doing something dangerous, I'll always be up for a talk.
Today marks a 100 day since my receipt date for C9 EAD, and I know it'll be here soon. Keep your heads up guys and gals.
