Hi all,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post, I really appreciate it. It's good to know I'm not alone with this. Just knowing that these problems are quite common helps.
Just a little update - I spoke up in the end as it was speak or quit and after a brief chat with the postgraduate welfare tutor and a friend/member of staff, my supervision team has been changed. I'm still a little uncertain about who I'll have as everyone is on holiday at the moment, but immediately after making the decision and speaking about the issues I was facing, I felt a weight had lifted. Here's to hoping that things can move forward again. I found a little bit of motivation and have managed to get a huge chunk of reading done which is good as well as presenting at a workshop which was helpful. So things are on the up.
It's bloody awkward being around the department though, so I'm working from home a lot!
Thank you for your support!
Epic - I'll go check out your thread, and Giblet - I hope things are getting better for you? I'm sorry you're going through this too.
