Hello, I have languished in graduate school so long, as a result of my ongoing mental health issues, that I now fear that any prospect that I might have had, have long since passed me by. It is terribly sad and discouraging, particularly as I am by no means even close to finishing my thesis. In retrospect, I would have never taken it on knowing that it would magnify my mental health issues as it has, and left me in this between a rock and a hard place situation. Option 1 is that I spend even more years of my life pushing through ant then end of jobless and unhappy in the end, or 2, that I simply withdraw from my thesis now and feel relieved for a few days or perhaps weeks, and then fall into the bottom of a pit of despair for having not finished and followed through on something...yet again. In the latter case, I honestly fear for my life, while in the former, I fear a life that becomes more and more miserable....I am stuck and I am sad.
