I always watch these videos when I am up at 2 AM and have lost all motivation. It gets me going every time! Thank you!

[@kishanchali8752]

I've been engaged in my dissertation work for the past 2 1/2 months. It's been really difficult because all I've been doing is reading and it's only now that I've started to write. I knew that it was better to write while reading but I didn't have enough information to write.

Thank you for this. Maybe you can talk about having days off. When do we know if we need it and how do we know when we've had enough?

[@AdrianJasperCCruz]

Thank you so much

I was supposed to submit my master dissertation on June, 2019, but I have not yet submitted it. I was an excellent student and both teachers and students predicted my success. But I don't know what's happening to me. I am tired mentally and physically. My topics was rated as an excellent topic and my ideas original, but I can't concentrate to write. I feal I am suffering psychologically. It is like all the pain and bad memories of my life has gathered. My infertility made it worst. I don't know what to do. I think I have to quit my job.

[@skyumar9150]

Hey! Same situation. I hope if you can comment your update to my comment here. Hope you have gone through it.

[@allamenglish4191]

@@skyumar9150 Hi Umar. Thanks for the comment. I am fine. I did quit my job. I was not comfortable. I did submit my dissertation in the end of the last December. I don't know yet if they accepted my dissertation. But I am better psychologically. I hope you are doing well. Relax my brother. Eat well and have a good sleep. Do what you can do and don't worry about other stuff. Don't worry about what people think about you. Do what you think is good for you and take advice from family and good friends.

[@aethericsx]

@@allamenglish4191 Hi Souhil! I've been doing all things that you stated before... But I still found myself not writing any single word of my thesis, I try to focus more on my physical health so at least I have motivation to wake up and do exercise... But the rest of the day was just meh... I don't know I feel like I'm on the brink of quitting college... I've been a good student too but since new normal I messed up my mind and don't know how to get back on the track... Also I've been left behind almost 1 year from my friend at same batch progress and so afraid of ut

[@allamenglish4191]

@@aethericsx Hello Steffi, I hope you're doing well. I can understand ur situation. Sometimes things just don't work out. I advise you to write whatever comes to your mind. Don't thinj that the idea or the sentence is nit enough. If u can switch to robot mode and just start writing then do it. Don't be perfectionist. Don't think about quiting college. In Europe and America u spend a lot of miney. So it is an investment, don't surrender. U cab do it since I did it. My dissertation mark was not excellent but U got my degree. When we are not giid there must be some problems whether psychological problems or past memories. We have to deal with them. Share ur pain and problems with a safe friend or family member. I know that writing these words is nit enough to encourage u. You can to get motivation to do work from stress sometimes. Because sometimes it's the fear of failure that motivates us and gives us a fise of adrenaline ti do what we are supposed to do. I don't know ur situation as u do. Be hinest with yourself and figure out what's the problem and fix it. Also, regain self confidence because it's very important. I believe you can do it Steffi. Have faith on the horizons if life. It is a hill that looks a bit big, step after a step u'll cross it Inshallah. Don't ficus on the goal but rather on the steps u have to take in a daily basis. I wish u good luck.. I think you are suffering emotionally. One a person is in pain he cannot function or focus on his goals or career. You have to accept that you are feeling hurt. Don't feel attached to people. It will make u free. And then do what makes u better. Wish u the best.

[@aethericsx]

@@allamenglish4191 Oh my... I don't know what to say cause your words went straight up to my heart. Yeah I've been facing many problems that related to my emotion, I felt so tired all time also I feel so much pressure about failure. You are right, I need to think it as a future investment so I can't give it up now. And yes acceptance is hard, I still blaming myself for a past event failure though I know we couldn't turn back time. I want to learn more how to gain my confidence back, I think that is my biggest obstacle. Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate your help! :) ((also aamiin thanks for your dua too))
