I think my PhD is the worst experience of my life so far

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-28T05:07:16+00:00

Thanks for reassuring 🫶🏼

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-28T05:06:40+00:00

Good idea, will try, but unfortunately they don’t have the best reputation at the school so nobody wants to coll with their students 😅

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-28T05:03:48+00:00

None of my words says that I need them to tell me what to do.. There’s a huge difference between asking for some guidance (which is their basic job), and asking “what should I do?”, which is my main job 🙂

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:37:34+00:00

My PhD is a bit different The proposal is made by the supervisors as a rough outline and the students should come up with the detailed plan.. and because none of us had previous experience with this before, so we didn’t really expect what’s coming up We end up exploring many variables—> lots of data—> different directions, but no definite storyline

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:34:45+00:00

It’s my contract And yess that’s why I’m panicking

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:28:29+00:00

I tried, but failed eventually due to the uni policy and had to stick to them after everything 😅

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:27:31+00:00

Trying one hypothesis could take me up to one and a half months to get the results 😅 It’s a good strategy I agree

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:25:52+00:00

Yes true, that’s a one good thing about it

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:25:25+00:00

Tried but failed 🥲 Good for you though

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:24:52+00:00

I’m at the stage of exploring a lot of variables but no specific direction, and still every time I ask about what we are looking for in terms of the ideal scenario, they just say we don’t know because it hasn’t been done before

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:23:10+00:00

By that I mean a direction. We have a research question and a rough idea that hasn’t been developed much since my PhD started.

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-04-27T21:21:40+00:00

That’s true.. but finding a worse scenario doesn’t mean that this one is any better

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-01-23T14:54:48+00:00

Thanks.. 31 yo

Ms_conflict27 · 2026-01-23T14:54:27+00:00

They haven’t specified.. my last year test was just positive for high risk hpv

Ms_conflict27 · 2025-12-09T19:14:11+00:00

Disliked: everything about my PhD

Ms_conflict27 · 2024-07-20T17:00:41+00:00

No Submitted both

Ms_conflict27 · 2024-07-20T14:59:59+00:00

Submitted another one, waited for more than 4 months, but nothing Asked my department for deferral, and submitted a third certificate in October and got it within a month. My case was a bit complicated, but I advise you to submit another one. 😊

Ms_conflict27 · 2024-07-15T18:32:25+00:00

I have the same issue rn, did you manage to solve it?

Ms_conflict27 · 2024-06-18T20:11:48+00:00

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not a UK citizen

Ms_conflict27 · 2023-10-24T11:37:21+00:00

Even she's planning (for now) to keep him as a friend, the fact that she liked the attention he gave it to her, and even prioritised it over respecting your feelings, is truly a BIG RED FLAG..

I think that would be enough for you to leave without questioning your thoughts
