Depression in Graduate Studies, What are the Signs? (by Dr. Gary Christenson, MD)

[@ALPlays]

Cant the system just somehow let us take a break, like a few weeks to get some of ourselves back together, because each day it gets harder to do the next assignment or work on my thesis report I just really find it very very hard to force myself but I cant afford to take days off or not meet deadlines.....I just want a mental break. My work load isnt too much but I just find it sooo hard to push myself, its like I just dont want to force myself anymore for anything. Like even during exams I genuinely consider putting down the pen and just not doing it anymore but eh just 2 months left...wish me luck

I understand you. I just passed the second wave of that phenomena.
What I say that you’re not alone, at least there is me who feel the same way as you.
My way out is talking to someone I trust and yes, I take a rest, short term as often as I can while trying to maintaining the task accomplishment.
Another thing is cheering yourself up by going back to the cause or your motivation that brought you here.
I believe the motive driving you here must be something IMPORTANT enough for you to keep going on.

A great introduction to the subject and context.

Sadly, we're in a system that is concerned with the output and not person putting in the work.
