Hi,
I think grad school challenges our coping more than perhaps it's been challenged before. It's a long, continuous stressor, I think.With my d-word, the lack of structure and "freedom" has been very difficult for me. I have ADHD, and it's hard for me to organize big projects. It's hard for me to structure my time now that I'm done with classes. And anxiety also plays a big role. I have a terrible anxiety about writing, though I've often been told I'm a good writer, and I get good evaluations of my writing. I'm working on inner confidence and structuring my time so I can start making progress again. Oh, and cleaning up my office so I have a decent workspace. Too many piles!
Take care,
gg
