How much time did you put in vs have left? Maybe you can withdraw from this semester instead to give yourself more time to consider it?

Thanks. I put in like 1.5 years just about.

I have probably 1 year left -- maybe a little more depending on how long it takes me to write my thesis.

I just sent an email explaining everything to the program director. I hope he can help me.

Hopefully the program director can help. Usually they want your money so they will probably fix it for you. HUGS Kit

Really for a year left unless there are financial reasons or something, I’d stay in....but clearly you’re struggling Right now. Do they have any form of accommodation for your sza? That might help. I’m not sure for masters but there is sometimes the option for an incomplete if you don’t do all the coursework on time.

Those thingies make me nervous, too, Blue. Good job!!

I always wonder what would have happened to my mental health had I taken another path.
Oddly enough, med school were four of the most stable years of my life. And happiest.

Anyway have you ever looked into that type of translation? I have no idea how he found the job, but you need to be able to get security clearance.
I want to be a spy!

You’re probably smarter than me, my IQ is on the low side for a PhD so I worked my rear end off to keep from sinking. Got it done though.

Sorry, Kit. i get this kind of thing a fair bit, myself, too. Hope today is calmer. Have you guys ever talked about Clozaril?

I was going to go on it, but we tried Trilafon first and it has really helped a lot.

It has to be a language that’s actually used though if you want to be a spy. Like think who the current “enemies” are and learn a rare variant of their language.

Finally fell asleep at 4 or so.. Had to go for a walk cuz I was starting to get some akathesia and feaking my stuff out totally. Weird. Got really, really anxious and was hearing these bizarre buzzing and squeaking sounds that were not actually there. I have pdoc tomorrow, so, may have to increase the Trilafon a bit, I think. Still just not totally there yet.

Hope everyone has a nice day!! Hugs!!!!
