My grad program is not accommodating my needs to succeed in studying and feel the environment super hostile for me being the only Asian in the department. I am leaving for an Asian country after getting my masters next semester, but sometimes I am just so desperate to leave right now, but there are so many circumstances preventing me from dropping out right now: 1. Would leave that record on my resume and I would have to explain it everytime I apply for something. 2. My cat has not finished with all procedures for entering another country and it’s gonna be the end of the semester before I could bring her with me.
I understand it, but the urge to escape is so bad my immune system has been protesting with the stress that I am having severe allergic reactions and getting sick all the time.
I can relate to this! I am also in grad school, and right now i’m trying to finish my thesis before i move to a new city. It can be so hard for me to focus. It’s going to be over in no time, and I believe you can do it ❤️
Does your school have a disability center? I was able to get deadline accommodations and wasn’t allowed to be penalized for missing class (besides having to catch up after). It helped me take care of myself more intensively when I needed it.
Yes, there is a disability center, but the can only meet with the professors and talk to them if they are not complying- they don’t actually have much say. The main problem is that the attitude of my professors being atheists and not caring in general.
I like cats their like a therapy animal. I understand being sick over stress the whole month of may i was super stressed to the point of puking everyday many times a day. I couldnt keep nothing down. And then having a mom know your eating disorder history asking are you purging. Like it made me feel worsecause i felt like she didnt believe me. As for the school enjoy it now cause in this world i ratheer be in school and not deal with the crazy crap
hug hug😢 My parents never understand eating disorders so when I started to eat excessively due to stress I have to lie to them that my face is puffed from allergies not from gaining weight.
they think mine goes away and im good but its a never ending cycle i can go months fine and then bang im purging again. I juat wish they stop forcing le to diet it just triggers me
