Thanks,

These are the same pills I was on between bein 8 and 17, but it could just be that my body isnt feeling the effects as quickly now.

I really like the chaplaincy idea. Im an agnostic as well, but i think it might be good just to get another source of advice.

Thanks again.

Hey,

Just signed up for this thing and I was just wondering if anybody had any advice for my situation.

Im on a partial scholarship with waived fees on an arts PHD (started 3 months ago). Since about before Xmas I have noticed a really dip in my mood, insomnia and a serious spike in the seriousness of my OCD (something I have suffered with since being a kid). My therapist has put me back on anti-depressesants but i haven't really seen any improvement.

The health problems are basically a result of struggling to pay for the essentials as the price of food and utilities is getting really high. But im also pretty disillusioned with my project. I took on a scholarship which was kind of out of my area of interest and although my supervisory team have been great and tailored it to my needs as far as possible, im still not really enjoying it.

Because of all of these I am really leaning towards dropping out but would probably like to try and apply for another PHD when I get my head straight and which I would get better funding for. Does anybody have any experience of leaving a program and going on to study another? And, what would my prospects of AHRC funding be in these circumstances?

Any help would be great.
