I made a difficult decision this week. As many of you know, I've been struggling very hard with the research degree that I have been working on. The stress of it has caused me migraines and panic attacks. I finally came to the conclusion that it was not for me right now. Therefore, I withdrew from my course yesterday. My supervisor was lovely about it and, I think, relieved. She also made it clear that I could come back if and when I wanted to pick it up again.
Unlike
snuggly_llama, I'm not sure exactly what I want to do now but at least I have the chance to find out. I also have the feeling of an enormous weight being lifted off my shoulders, and both
raygungothic and
omylouse have commented on this.
That's all for now.
