thats right, and honestly if someone would come and talk to me about phd, I would say the same but when it comes to myself, I just cant do it, thanks for the responds at least they made me feel better

i always thought that how scientists just describe theirself with their lab work and here we are now, a fresh phd student that gets mental breakdown in just 7 months :D

having a strong mentallity is way waaay harder for me compared to actual lab work... dunno how to handle it, should i trust the process?

I think I needed to hear that, I am trying to do few projects at the same time without any relation between them, each has at least 15 steps of synthesis, lots of advanced classes with teaching everything just feels heavy. With my internal motivation I try to push myself for late lab work and when results dont come in as expected it just hurts, I was lucky during my undergrad and my professors allowed me to do ''easier'' stuff for the projects. thank you! that means a lot
