I feel like my thesis is taking forever to complete. I am afraid to hand anything into my advisor for she has ripped it apart with no positive feedbacks, while in the meantime she provides no support. I am not happy. Any suggestions on how to deal with such a situation?

DO you have any other supervisors? Are there any friendly post-docs or fellow PhD students who can do some proof-reading for you? Have you told your supervisor how you feel and actually asked for some more guidance? Hang on in there, writing up is a long and lonely process but you WILL get there in the end. All the best.

I'm with Ann - ask a fellow student (or even a friendly lecturer) to go over it. Do you have a second supervisor who can help?

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help. I have talked to another prof who is really supportive of me. The only thing is that my advisor is a big wig in the department, and I am afraid if I switched, it would cause a tsunami. gah!
