[mental health/school stuff] i have put a pause on my PhD for the time being

idk if i'll have to reapply to the program or what at a later date but that's a problem for future me

it's just honestly causing so much anguish and beating me up mentally, and i want to be in a better place brainwise before i try to tackle shit again

that's a hard decision to make, but i'm glad you did if it's best for you

seconded, you have to do what's best for you

like i told you earlier, be proud of the work you did and take care of yourself

so proud of you for taking care of yourself first and hope this lightens some of the burden on you.

Thank you, darlings It's definitely been a heavy burden and I need to focus on getting myself better before I tackle it again.
