Any one thinking of taking professional help for phd dissertation ?

Have you told your supervisor that you feel stuck, and asked them for help? And have you considered asking them to push the meeting back to a later date, or understanding that you'll attend the meeting but that you haven't got anything to present? Not sure what field your PhD is in but I can't see how taking your work to an outsider for "professional help", will benefit you. As everyone's project is so unique and individual...

Hi,
What subject are you doing your PhD in? What year are you in?
I've been/currently in the same situation as you, but I wouldn't advice getting professional help to do the work (if that what you mean) Namely because its not worth it and pointless. You'll be better off just leaving and focusing on work if you are not willing or able to put the time and effort in. I suggest talking it through with your supervisors, and working together to think how to get back on track or what the best solution will be. Or if you mean additional support to guide you through it, that what your supervisors are there for, so again, no point.
I've been struggling with my PhD the last few months, and just felt aimless and like I was going through the motions. I was sitting down, reading, making notes, but without any real aim or direction. Also i'm self-funded, so I work too to live etc. One of my jobs, I took up some teaching with the uni, with marking and teaching, took up a lot of time and even more than I thought it would so I got really behind.
I let time pass by without really saying anything or doing anything. I had to send my current progress/draft before a meeting with my supervisors a little while ago and it was really bad, even I knew that. Very basic and not really showed what I had been doing at all. I got feedback from my supervisors, and they raised the point my work has been below standard recently and not where you would expect it to be at this stage and asked me how things were. I decided to be honest, I told them I've been distracted with work and family commitments and not really been able to put the time and effort in and that I knew my work was suffering as a result and that I've been thinking maybe about going part-time, or taking a break or even dropping out.
I felt better sharing with them. It help that I knew it was bad too. But it helped me get out of my own head, and that really dark point you get (usually without realizing) where you just feel like your drowning or in a trance and not sure where you're headed. It gave me breathing space and a chance to stop and think. I took a few days to myself and switched off a little. When I got back to it, I found my energy again and got stuck in. No real structure to it, but knowing what I hadnt yet and trying to tackle that head on.
They were really positive and supportive in their response, and suggested I take some time away to think what I want to do and to let them know, and then we can meet again. They also checked in with the office about procedures in case I wanted to leave or take a break. They checked in with me to see how I was doing, and I decided I was going to push through and carry on. I have a better sense of where I'm going and a plan and re-found that desire and drive that made me want to do my PhD, and as everyone says, a PhD will have its high points and low points.
I'm meeting them again this week. I sent them an updated draft of my work. I made a decision to work on the hardest part of my PhD for me so far, which was the theory side of my literature review. I struggle with theory, I'm not great at thinking in abstract and I've told my supervisors this before, so i also know it wont be the best but I know that I will come through it. Its not great, I don't think even good but its better than what I sent last time, and I feel more confident about where I'm going with it. I'm hoping they can see the progress. no doubt they will probably trash the whole thing, but I feel more confident and comfortable with it.
In short, you chose to do a PhD for a reason. Its a process, a journey etc with its ups and downs. Take a step back, remember why you chose to do it, think about what needs to be done and then get it done. Be honest with yourself and your supervisors, things can happen with life that distract us, we just have to prioritse and reorientate ourselves.

Actually, supervisor is asking to show something, so he can give direction. But what should I write when what I thought of is already researched, when I started researching literature on it. I cant think outside of it. I am studying Adult Nursing.
