Same here, I know the struggle. At some point I just left because of a terrible incident of abuse I suffered that led me to evaluate my options and move to the industry where pay is 10-20x and where I've found a much healthier environment to thrive.
I really dislike people who are unfamiliar with academia that try to push this fetishized/romanticized version of what THEY think academia is, with little to no factual knowledge of what it truly is.
