BASE is a real juggernaut of a sub.
I found stages 3/4 very challenging to say the least. But at the end of stage 4 and beginning with stage 5 I crafted some of my best works to this very day. It was also around this time that I really noticed a new kind of impact I had on people. I remember crafting a superb presentation for a conference and while at the conference my body language alone drew in people around me. They were in awe, which was funny and startling at the same time, because it was completely new to me.
You are absolutely on track about the superior momentum of stage 1. It was the same for me. And as far as I remember, other BASE users reported the same. BASE is a long-term commitment, one run will only scratch the surface. For some modules it was only two/three months after my first run that I experienced some kind of bloom.
I can also relate very much to you feeling hopeless and helpless, worried and anxious, as you put it. For me BASE brought with it some of the deepest emotional cleansing of any sub I used. It raised a lot of emotional dust. Long walks helped me to cope with that.
It was only after some time off of BASE that I realized all the positive that it brought with it. Really a diverse field of different achievements and growth. And this delayed gratification is something that really draws me back to BASE. So in the end I can only encourage you stay with it. The stages are sometimes push-and-pull, one really uplifting and the next totally a downer. A tough mental workout. But you will benefit from pushing through.
All the best.
