About Masters... It is pain... thats why a lot stop after it. In terms of training it is extremely challenging and different from the undergrad studies. This is also when your studies start shaping you, you become a part of a very small group in the society and it doesnt get better the higher you go in your studies. Mental health studies report aprox 70% of average to severe depression. I had to give 10 versions of my masters paper project before they approved it...BUT the more they have to say about what you write, the better it is... you just dont know it yet. You just have to set precise goals, diversify your range of opportunities, use the system... and work out a lot.

Hey guys, we are all sharing the same experiences. I have my Phd exams in one week, exactly the same ones: 5 hours each, oral , 300 books... You are feeling this way because you are exhausted ...emotionally drained. You have been in a level of stress and "high", brain full of hormones like cortisol: you are feeling like shit. I my book reviews from last year, not remembering a single thing: The RITUAL thing is true : the path to excellency, but it seems you never reach any level of satisfaction. I lost it last spring, there was just so much i could take... their job is to push you, squeeze you... until they see a doctor's report and a possible lawsuit behind . I honestly have no idea how i am going to deal with my oral exam... just planing a long yoga session just before it. How few hours of your life with people that are not related to you break you down for months? Its just crazy how it get to us. I dont know about you guys, but the hardest part is to find a partner, friends that can understand our mood swings, unavailabilities... thanks for this forum
