How to quit PhD without havoc?
S

Hi,

I think you should do some sports like running for 45 mins, or swimming like every three days, so that you will be relaxed. When you perspire/sweat, you tend to lose tension, so that you become calm. And it's important to have a personal goal. People can say anything, but it doesn't matter. What matters is "you", and "your family". Anybody can praise you or say you are incapable, but it will not make you neither good nor bad. Within you, you need to believe that you are talented, you are good. I think you should go to swimming pool every three days or at least every four days, and swim for one hour or so. It will release pressure. And most importantly, you should try to construct a good research. Stay away from people who make you feel bad. And you have to realize that praising or thrashing you by others, will not be useful, and it's a common thing no matter where you go. Try to find peace in your life, have a goal. You are on your own. Try to stay calm. Talk to people. Have a rest. Reward yourself. Play. Watch a movie. But, when you work, work solely. Have a plan. Keep a list of deadlines, and always have a plan B, plan C. In this way, you will not feel tensed. Leaving is easy. But fighting is hard. People who fight till the end, are the real winners. So, unless and until you feel you cannot continue any further such that you feel like suicide or some mental sickness will cause, I think you should not quit. Even if you quit, you should create an opportunity before you leave, and leave to that place. Don't take any rash decisions. Try to talk with several people. Having a good research up and running will help you a lot. People want good results. Because humans are craving for glory, money etc. It's normal, though painful. Good luck. Trust yourself!
