Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to my first conference in a week time and hopefully I will meet some people there. I am not really big on social media so I don't participate in any Facebook or Twitter support groups, but this looks like a great avenue to get advice and support. I think the biggest problem I have with joining clubs is the limited amount of time I have. I have always looked around for meetup groups but have never made it to any of the ones I am interested in mostly because of timing. I am part of my Toastmaster club, which is great because there's always very inspiring people speaking.
But thanks for listening to my frustrations! :)

I am just finishing up my second year and all of the students in our group have left, so it's just my supervisor and I. I am stuck at the lab 9-5 everyday without much interaction with anyone at all, aside from the occasional (probably like twice a week) chit chats with a couple of postdocs from another group in the department that are around. I am not afraid of the hard work but it is so challenging for me without that social stimulation. On top of that things are not working for me and I have no idea what the hell I am doing and where my project is going. Constantly feeling inadequate and without help is not helping at all :/

I don't know anybody else who is doing a PhD, so I have no one to vent to about my frustrations or discuss about ideas I have. I have tried joining clubs at the University, but most members are undergraduate and only enjoy drinking and partying, which is not really my scene. I go through these emotional phases throughout the year and sometimes I am so ready to just quit my PhD and move on to do anything else.
Anyways, just here to vent... I am sure I will get over this phase sometime soon (most likely when my progress report is over in March).
