I can relate to your experience. Balancing a demanding PhD with a startup is a challenge that many people underestimate. Your point about burnout really stands out because academic pressure can quickly become overwhelming. I knew someone in a similar situation who was so stressed that they even searched “pay someone to do my course” just to keep up with deadlines. In the end, getting legitimate academic support and guidance helped them stay on track. Sometimes asking for help is the smartest way to move forward.
