Hi,

So, I'm a 3rd year science PhD student and I am just exhausted. I find myself getting very upset at the thought of continuing but everyone thinks I should soldier on. I came very close to quitting last summer (even started looking into jobs) but I had no idea what I wanted to do and I was promised things would get better.
I have had 3 projects in 3 years and this current project is seeing more results but I'm no longer motivated to work as I spent my first 2 years working my arse off.
Also, due to various deadlines and responsibilities I have had very little time off (about 2 weeks in 3yrs). I also have a lot of personal issues going on in the background which my supervisor is aware of but each time he asks me about it I just cry (I'm crying now writing this). Most of the research group are very nice but the two I work with are absolutely horrible.
When I started I was subjected to discrimination due to my social class and gender and one incident of racial discrimination in this group and I did not know how to deal with it so I didn't report it. But because I no longer communicate with them I have not had to deal with it recently.
I used to love my subject but 3yrs here has ruined it! I do not like the lab I work in (and I cannot move) and my degree. But I don't know what to do as I can not quit after 3yrs - I've come to far.

Please help!
