Its difficult waiting for feedback./ My tactic is - as soon as I give something in, I make a date to discuss teh chapter in the meeting. Usually give 3 -4 weeks. The week before usually remind them abotu the meeting, day before say i am lookingfoward to discussing feedback in next meeting. It usually helps if you take teh lead. It depends on your supervisor - do they know how vitla your feedback is? You cant expect them to read your mind. They need to be told....

Is it a conspiracy or is it me? Quitting my PhD.

I think alot of these problems could be solved to if you wanted to solve them. The question is how much do you want to solve them. TBH if you thought that your research area etc was getting a bore then i would be more worried. But the issues you are mentioning are normal phd issues. Communicate with other phd students in your department - your not the only one who feels like this.
