Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has advice for me that could help. I am currently doing my masters and Corvid-19 has made things so much more stressful for me. I feel like I am locked up in my accomodation alone and miss having a working environment.
I have always been a hard worker and never missed a deadline. My undergrad went smoothly with no issues so this feeling of stress and constantly feeling overwhelmed is new to me. I feel like my mental health has taken a spin suddenly and is seriously effecting my work.
I have been in contact with my supervisor and been working towards my dissertation. Its due in September and I get sudden panic moments where I start uncontrollably crying. I feel like I can't do it, but I have plans and work towards getting it done. It is my mind frame that is a serious issue. My first term of my masters went great, my results were really good. (3/3 Distinctions). Second term hasn't been as good because of my mind frame. (Passed 2/3, may have to retake one and after crying about it realised I need to wait till it says fail so I can do something about it - it hasn't finished being marked. I have made a plan for when a fail mark arrives. It was that bad. So I know I can deal with this. I have never had to retake before so I don't know the process.
Dissertation stress of finding something original in my work, I have planned my project and I'm working on it. But I get this feeling of its not good enough and I don't know enough. I feel like I'm stupid or just not smart enough anymore. I have meetings with my supervisor every week and I know I have a good work ethic, I just miss having friends to work with at the same time for motivation (haven't spoken to anyone other than my supervisor in almost 3 months). I'm really lonely and tried to reach out to people just to have someone to talk to... But I really don't have anyone.
I've also been searching for a job which has been hard but I know to keep going with this.
If anyone has any advice for my mind frame or is in the same situation... Just anything, I would really appreciate it.
