No therapist, so I'm asking here. Will try to stop by the counseling center, but I might not get an appointment for a week or two.
I worry that talking about my feelings of distrust and discomfort will make the department hate me even more.
The pros of talking about this would be that it might shed some light on what happened when I was proposing my thesis. I'm not going to say I don't see things clearly, but my past has made me sensitive to being sectioned, having people conspiring about me, having people out for me.
Thanks for your answer and glad you got through your MBA program successfully!
