Thanks GG! if you don't mind me asking...have you faced different kinds of challenges in diss work? sometimes i feel like when i get to that stage it'll be a lot easier since i'll be setting my own schedule for the most part, but i do worry that without structure i'll lose motivation. i seem to need a lot of encouragement, too, and i wonder how i'll function with out it...today a professor gave me the highest compliment i've received yet, and i feel like i'm walking on air, even though i had a totally awful moment in class moments before that triggered all my anxiety all over again. (just based on freezing up when called on, not anything even that serious.) i hate being so sensitive to feedback.
sometimes i feel like grad school stripped away a lot of my coping mechanisms! ugh.
take care,
philyra
