hi, i'm new here. i'm so glad i have found this site. i'm in my second year and i haven't started writing up yet and this is making me panic. i am getting no results and soon i'll be in my third year and expected to graduate. i'm scared that my department will evict me / fail me. because of my situation, i have recently been suffering from stress and shakes at the thought of failure. can a department force someone to leave the phd or i'm i just paranoid? please help.
