Hi there, I could really do with some help please.
I have just moved to Australia to undertake a PhD and brought my husband and two young children with me. I only started my project six weeks ago and absolutely hate the topic. I didn't expect to feel like this at all! I've worked so hard, literally for years, to get out here and study the subject that I'm currently working with, so this is very unexpected. I have however spoken with another university who have offered me, well potentially offered me, another project. This project really excites me but I'm not sure that I have had enough time to really know what being a PhD student is all about, nor my project. I think I may have burned my bridges with my supervisors now as surely they must think I'm just a non-starter. I'm worried if I don't do what I set out to do that I've dragged my whole family over here for nothing. Bbt I'm really unhappy with how things are just now. I see a lot of people have put posts on that they feel self doubt at about six months but not six weeks! Does anyone out there have any experience of changing universities and projects like this or having this amount of self doubt so early on?
Thanks.
