Hi, novice here, no guidance whatsoever, will really appreciate if someone could help answer my doubts

1. do i need to buy the physical official books and if yes, how? the 2026-27 edition with online bank show it will be released on July 31, on amazon India.
2. is it okay if i buy the 2205-26 edition?
3. i am aiming for the 2027 intake and i am very late already, R1 is out of the question, are chances slimmer in the case of r2 ( aiming to submit applications to a few T7, HEC, INSEAD)
4. Do i need to get a consultant? the ones that review ur profile, essays and all that given i have very short amount of time.
5. Please please recommend budget friendly courses I can take or any youtube playlists that are available that are a must.
6. realistically speaking, do u recommend i wait for 2028 intake or is it pragmatic to aim for R2.
7. how do i start, i am seeing not much material online, its pretty overwhelming. it would be really helpful if i can get some tips on this

tysm!!

i’m depressed. i’ve been for a v long time i think.
i cant seem to get up from bed. i bed rot all day, order junk full time, consume content sleep repeat. i’ve a job i go to. just got snubbed for a promotion i was promised, for which i worked multiple sleep nights so much so that a senior arranged a call w me to tell me i’m ruining the team culture and expectations by overdelivering. i really really worked v hard as much as it was possible.it has made me lose confidence but i’ll live. thing i need help w is the depression. i push myself and i’m up barely for 2 weeks, gym run work self study everything on point, next whole month- i sabotage the whole progress i made. currently i’m in the sabotage phase. and i know i’ll get up eventually when life kicks me but l lost all progress and this is really really interfering w my goals. i am a very ambitious person who does abs nothing to work towards her goals and then lies depressed crying they achieved nothing. ur typical loser. i don’t know how to stop these cycles. just any advice atp will be helpful
i’m really very tired of hating myself and resorting to food and over eating and bed rot is killing me.
