Dealing with mean people

...See more Hi, I am a PhD student, my supervisors are mean, and they only care about publications. This is the end of my fifth year, and I was aiming to reach the defense, but they introduced more challenging work. They misled me sometimes, creating a lot of stress and pressure. When I say I do not know, they say it is my PhD and I should find a way. The problem is that they do not provide resources either literature or other contacts for help. How can I deal with such people? Also, I am an international student. What do you suggest, these days, I can not sleep well. Thanks

...See more Problem is, i never tried to do anything, and i did good at highschool. Aced every test with no effort at all.  Time passes, i got into the top private uni, and when i decided to take computer science as my degree, i always felt this imposter syndrome, everytime i enter the class. I distanced and closed myself from everyone in class, and i can't hold it anymore. I always thought that I'm the dumbest in class, and i didn't do well with my grades, so i dropped out. And now I'm afraid of choosing my major and scared of the future.  I always thought that my bad grades maybe have something to do with my mental health at that time, where i have imposter syndrome everytime, like i just don't belong. And now, i must soon choose a major to enroll to uni again, but im scared as ***. Im scared of choosing a wrong major again. What if i fail again?? Just how much of my parent's money and time i have spent for my mistakes. I don't want to dissapoint them again.  All i want is just to graduate and go back to my hometown, and help my family's bussiness.
I don't have it in me to finish this semester

...See more I've officially reached my limit. I'm on my second year of med school and this semester has been really challenging for me, I've been working two jobs because my dad had to quit his and I'm basically the only one with income in my family at the moment. I can't keep up with the workload, my physical and mental health are at rock bottom, I'm barely sleeping, I keep getting sick and having the worst migraines I've had in my life, keep missing classes (I missed a midterm last week due to my poor health). I know I don't want to quit med school but this particular school is making me want to crawl under a rock and never come out. The professors keep dismissing my pleas for help and make it everybody's business that I'm missing classes and on the verge of failing, I can't take the humiliation in front of my peers and I'm exhausted. My uni has this very old-fashioned/high school feel to it, we have assigned seats, a mandatory suit and tie dress code and we even have roll call every single day for every single class, half the classes I'm taking aren't even taught by the professors they just have us prepare presentations and I'm just sick of it. This wasn't my first choice for school and I only ended up there because it was the only one I could afford at the time. I feel like I don't have it in me to finish this semester and have even started thinking about transferring to another school but I'm thinking of withdrawing before the semester is over to avoid academic probation. I can't find the support I need at this place nor do I feel like I'm receiving the education I deserve. I can't take another week, the thought of waking up tomorrow to go to class makes me have a panic attack. I don't know if I should withdraw or stick around till the end of the semester, I'm just a mess right now.

How can I focus on my studies while my home environment is toxic?
by Serena5927
Last post
 October 3rd
...See more I am a 19 year old girl who has a bad relationship with my family, especially my parents. Both of my parents are manipulative, emotionally unavailable, judgemental and treat me like an animal. So basically they are toxic for me. They never try to understand me and never try to notice my opinions. Gosh don't get me started on my childhood, it was horrible. Anyways I came to accept that my parents views on the world are different then mine and that my personality is not compatible to theirs. The only way I try to avoid them is by isolating in my room and spend less time with them. In my room is where I can be myself and I always study and do my assignments there. The problem is that now my room becomes an environment associated with college stress and anxiety which is unhealthy and that prevents me from concentrating and procratinating a lot. I have no friends or anyone who can support me, I'm basically alone. I can't move out of my parents house and find a better environment because I have no money and plus my parents said that they will stop paying for my college fees once I move out. So I'm stuck at home stressed, anxious, depressed, no motivation and no support. I'm suffering. I would appreciate it if someone can maybe give me any suggestions on what I can do that's going to help me cope. My main concerns are my studies.

A B is not a bad grade.

...See more I'm in college, and though my GPA has been good I can't help but think about how it could be better you know? Like I get mainly A's and some B's, but all I can think about is how B's aren't as good as A's even if by definition there is nothing wrong with getting B's. I'm just mainly trying to convince myself that getting a B isn't a bad grade, but its hard knowing that its not the 'best' grade.

Asking for advice in Choosing University major
by GreenTea3040
Last post
 January 27th
...See more I would like ask for advices on deciding university major. I am a little lost in choosing for my university major cuz I still don't have a particular interest or passion yet now. In choosing major and career pathway, I feel really diffcult to decide. I couldn't decide one and I am not confident about myself about what I will choose. I am worried that I might regret choosing that or found later that I maybe no talent in that area or I might feel no interest in the chosen major later. For me, I am considering for applying a scholarship to study abroad.So, I need to decide one major now but since choosing major may also impact my future career, I feel so hard to decide. Could you give me some suggestions ? Thank you very much.
