Hi everyone! I just discovered the board, and despite the fact that very few people seem to post on it, it seems like some of you are going through similar situations to what I've been enduring.
I'm a second-year grad student. I take my comprehensive exams in a month and a half. My boyfriend finished school in December, and is unemployed, and it stresses me out beyond belief. I've got classes and an assistantship to deal with, as well. And I feel like medications for anxiety/depression have made things worse for me.... to the extent that I find it hard to get anything done, and I spend half of my free time crying. How do you get through all of this stuff when you wake up every morning with this pit in your stomach and your heart racing, before you even have a conscious thought? I've done really well in grad school, thus far, and I'm so afraid I'm going to throw it all away by being like this...
Anyway, I just felt like venting--a very uplifting post to join the group with, I know!
