sixpence Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi Pham, Please, if you have the time, pray for me and my boyfriend too. This has been a TERRIBLE month. I have had to talk at a conference, I have a thesis committee meeting tomorrow (those are the people who give you the PhD), and then another conference on Thursday. In the meantime my boyfriend has had his Qualifying exam, a department seminar, and now finding a lot of problems with his data. He is suffering from serious anxiety issues and thinking of leaving grad school; I am trying to prepare for my stuff, but be there for him, and I feel like a failure....sometimes when he starts yelling and/or moaning about what a terrible student he is, I feel the urge to just go elsewhere so I don't have to hear about it, or worse I want to tell him to shut up cause lots of people are in worse situations...but that is not going help his anxiety problems... I just feel hopeless, like I can't do anything to help him, and also (selfishly) annoyed that I have to deal with all this while I'm supposed to be prepping for my own meetings.
