Have you ever laugh to things that is not even funny? Get angry with someone who is actually doing fine with you? Or maybe, crying unexpectedly? I bet all of us had done one or two or three of it.
From all of the circumstances, I felt like they are pushing me to the edge. The workload was too much and I still have one class to go (my last one! Geez!). I couldn't properly contact my friends just for relax and joking around. It's our last year after all. All of us has different interests. Everyday felt suffocating. Nevertheless, I tried to do my best at work and the pressure is still on me. I tried to be positive, oh they wanted me to get better than I am now. I tried to be more attentive, in the class and in the lab. I was overwhelmed by the project deadline. I thought, "Aaaghh! It's actually my fault for not studying enough!", when the results got contaminated or else.
Thankfully my part was done, but I became depressed at how useless I am that time. I ended up blame myself for something I shouldn't and took more workload. Lol. I need more distraction. I studied at home and work in campus. I used weekend for another work and did the chores.
My emotion was a mess. I didn't talk about this to everyone, not to my PA, my family, and my friends. Just keep this inside my mind. I know. I should at least talk to one person, but I can't open up to them. Everytime I see something related to my project, I feel the urge to avoid and hate it, even though it isn't the same thing and it's only in my mind. Maybe it's like... defense mechanism...?
Long story short, I wanna blow off some steam. Sometimes when I'm alone or on the way back home, I would cry out of the blue. I have the urge to do it even when I didn't think about something sad (things like your favourite ship broken... :blobsob:). The driver who looked confused, told me some lame jokes. I laugh and cried even more. Thank you, Sir! :blobjoy:
Until a while ago, finally I decided to withdraw from the project and it was a hard decision to make. I lost contact with almost everyone for a few months until I came up with this.
I still have the urge to cry out of the blue. Sometimes I regret my decision. Sometimes I wonder, is this really alright?
Geez. I need to stop it.

I need more coffee! :blobdead:

      @Katsono PA is an acronym for academic advisor in my language.
      It's a collaboration research project from government. I joined for my thesis and various things happened. And no, I didn't drop out.

      I think you are trying to work through your various emotions concerning your present situation. Making a blog is a good way to express your frustration w/o involving people IRL.. It feels a bit relieving doesn't it.. But I do think it sounds like alot to process all by yourself.Is there anyone you can share this with ?
      You withrdrew from the project so what is done is done. I don't think second guessing your decision in your mind is productive. The stress of juggling many things in your life was obviously too overwheling for your psyche it sounds like.
      You say your friends are busy and you havent had a chance to relax..Finding a relaxing outlet is very important imo
      that also makes it hard on you. Maybe give them a call and see if you can get together.
      Sometimes a girls night out is just what a person needs or a hobby or exercise always works a bit for me..
      I hope you can work your situation out but remember it is one project you are young and smart and there will be many more opportunities for you to excel ! Don't let that decision weigh you done.
      A very wise person told me once you can't change the past you can't change one second ago so you need to accept and move forward.. So stay positive and I hope you can work through your present emotional dilemma

      @Bad Storm yup! I really get that having family support, even when they didn't know, is like a lifesaver. Huft.
      And also, just give me any drinks! I won't be picky! :blobowoevil_horns:

      I kinda relate. But I can't say that I thoroughly understand. Maybe what you experienced is way harder than mine, or maybe not. I dunno know. The only thing that brought me out of my sticky situation was the support system that my family gave me. That and a chance, a direction to go.

      Maybe in time, you'll get a more objective view of this situation of yours, but for now, it's fine to live one day at a time.

      Oh and I prefer hot choco than coffee xD
