I want to quit PhD

6 years ago in Guidelines By Kartik Varma

Guidelines

I took admission in PhD two years back with a prospect of finishing it without any havoc. For the initial 8-9 months, I was energized constantly while walking around the school library, planning sessions with the counsellor, going to the meetings. However, at that point, this energy took no time in transforming into the work dissatisfaction. I had no clue PhD could be so testing. Presently it has been two years that this research is disheartening me constantly. I get my drafts rejected, the consecutive due dates for work consummation are tiring. I’m totally worn out at this point. I’m considering if it’s a smart thought to stop the PhD. Nor I’m ready to proceed with it nor I can make my mind that I ought to stop. Help me, friends, what will I do!

I have always preferred my health over everything and would suggest you the same. If you feel like giving up don’t continue. You can also discuss the problem with your mentor or any of your senior or friends. All the best!! Hope you would take a right decision.

I think you shouldn’t quit and should understand that PhD is all about ups and down, you just need motivation. You can do one thing listen to some motivational speech, take a break or attend some conferences related to your research area for a better understanding. If you have survived these two years in the doctoral program, then it’s worth continuing.

It totally depends on you, according to me you should do what you really want to do. So it is very much ok if you don’t want to do it, you can quit at any time. Actually, I agree with the suggestion given by the user above, you should give yourself some break, maybe after that you find it interesting but If you are still unhappy, then it is not your PhD but some other issues that are introducing negative vibes. It is entirely your call!!!! If you want to continue, go for it. If not, think again.
