Stress

Astagfirullah-al-azim....

Lately I feel so stressed and depressed after came back from Germany. Well, I know I am not alone. We will feel this way from time to time depending on what's going on but someday we will figure it out -- being lost is part of the process. For first year PhD student, please do not jump to reading about VIVA stuff or more advances things than the 'phase' you are in - like I did before and I psych! Believe me, the whole PhD did not make sense until the very last year...and all along the small little pieces, writing here and there help to shape it together. Then, rewrite again. Your first year, the research is more likely to 'internet language' and that is crazy huge thing and it will take few years of work to reach specific topic. But most importantly, you should know that in the second year of PhD process, all research pieces are everywhere -- here and there! Totally mess up!

But.....

Don't worry.. Heads up!

If you are feeling lost, please share and discuss it with anyone anytime like in private not in a group. Obviously nobody may have the answers but what I learned is discussing stuff that you're unsure of with other people clarify that crazy stuff in our heads better! After all, please don't give up, don't stress and keep it up! Grab your luggage, pack all your belongings and fly! Travel ok!

InsyaAllah...

Love,
