Definitely talk to a professor you trust. Also depending on the type of insurance you have just contact them they should have a list of therapists then you can call and find out what they specialize in. I know it's difficult but you can get through it, also are there any eating disorder centers?

I think so. I sent out thank you cards and had a little Starbucks gift card in it.

You really shouldn't have said anything to begin with. It's not your business. It is my goal and that's that.

My GPA was a 3.4 and I didn't have a ton of experience in the field and I got into a top 10 school so I think you will be fine good luck

Ummm if someone is irresponsible enough to not protect themselves and a baby happens then that is both of their faults and it isn't selfish as far as I'm concerned. Also I know a ton of people it happened to and they are happy, engaged/married couples. I am an adult I don't need your permission or approval that you very much.. Just saying

Get a bf, maybe be engaged... Geert pregnant. The rest I could care less about

I don't think.you have to be intense, I'm not intense at all and I'm doing just fine in school just saying

It's not stupid to give advice on what I Know I don't know this girls life (nor do I give a crap) do what you want why bother coming here to ask? And don't worry I don't go on cheap dates ever sweetie

I don't know this girl I didn't see that she was in a PhD program had I known that I likely would have said something slightly different obviously

Who cares what program she is? Like really?

She posted on a public forum, I said what I had to say take it or leave it I don't really care:) Good Luck

... I understand what life is about I get it but I don't see how someone could just decide to miss classes for a wedding or whatever.. sorry don't get it.

23 when I started now 24 I will be 25 when it's over

... ok then. Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't ever take off time for that or have an extended weekend or whatever for that reason. Maybe my program is just important to me.. or shorter than yours? Either way doesn't matter I guess.

Why would you take time off to get married in grad school? You could always do it in the summer or after graduation... school is hard enough I do know a girl in my program who might have a fall or spring wedding next year, I personally wouldn't ever do it but whatever

I can't speak for all programs but I know in my SW program it is definitely a safe place, our school prides itself on being an ally and we have had guest speakers come (who were trans) into our class room to talk about their experiences. For me, that was the most eye opening experience because I had never known anyone trans.. Sorry going off on my own personal experiences. I think that in most grad programs people are older and more mature and would not judge or create an unsafe environment for a transgendered person. It should be based on the work that you do.

I thought you were getting married? Maybe i am confusing you with someone else. Anyways I live alone. I love it so much! I have a small 1 bedroom apartment about 25 mins from campus. I do not pay a lot. I can't imagine a roommate at this point, I would hate having to deal with someone else haha
