One month? Try being at the same elo for 6 months when I hit 900 it took me 6 months to break 1000.

I understand but I am doing so much training and obssesed with chess. when I see no improvement, it just makes me and my training feel so worthless.
[btw I have been stuck for 3 months, not 1.]
I'm not rated high but I would like to express that It's normal everybody does hit a wall in their progress at some time considering your rating I think that if you still want to progress coaching is the only way to progress at that level

Coaching becomes the only way to progress at advanced ie) master's level I believe. Since im still at intermediate level, I still have long ways to go. Again, I ask for advice. Not for consolation.

What do you do in your training? If you've been stuck then it probably means you're doing something wrong cuz it's incredibly easy to break 2000
It looks like you're calculating a bit too much but I can't say much since I'm 1000 elo below you

Wdym? 8 tempi[4moves] is barely enough to blunder check a move at critical points

7 hours is too much, you’ll burn yourself out

yusupov is so good to study from. at 1600 you should be good enough for his orange books and you should improve pretty quickly

I'm doing the orange books and they are pretty helpful even at my level (1000)

#15 nice! i like how short the chapters are. my attention span is too small for most chess books xD
17 i think so yeah
just started with an fm
(Ik you meant op, just saying for myself)
I'm stuck at the same elo for the past 3 months and I have NOT been able to break through. This has been draining my mental health for the past few days and I'm just STUCK. Every game I play I just think, get low on time, and blunder. If I play fast then I blunder anyway. This is absolutely frustrating and I would probably be banned if I express how I ACTUALLY feel.
For context, I do puzzles until I get 20 puzzles right. I also do a puzzle rush before my game sesion. I play 10+0 cuz the other rapid time controls are riddled with cheaters.
However, no mattter what I do, I just keep blundering, AGAIN and AGAIN. The worst part is these are so easy to see AFTER I have made my move, but I can't during my move. Did I talk about how my opponents play fast and accurately while I play slow and I blunder yet? I JUST CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP BLUNDERING.
So here are a few examples:
So can I get any TANGIBLE and ACTIONABLE advice on how to proceed further?
