I’m certainly never going to tell anyone that they should quit, but I am drafting a post at the moment about how much better my mental state is, and how much more I respect myself, since quitting. Even if you’re going to push on, it might have something helpful for you (I hope!).

I couldn’t handle the fear and the self doubt and the neglect anymore, so I left. I admire anyone who keeps on going, because it’s certainly not easy.

Bipolar days…fear of future failure…
It’s been 3 years of this now since I started my PhD…
I keep thinking: “when did I become this fearful, hateful creature?”, I used to be fearless.

I will only be studying one unit at a time of the Development Studies degree while I do the Journo degree so hopefully I’ll manage. I’m just thinking of it as overloading :)

I would have all kinds of amazing crap on my body if not!

As far as I know it’s just a private house – it’s owned by a friend-of-a-friend. I can do some investigating though :)
