I started my PhD 6 months ago and was extremely excited when I started, but I found out I was sharing my project with a new PostDoc. Since I started I have been doing very basic work. At first I thought this was normal.Recently I have really wanted to expand my work and my knowledge, and have discussed this with my supervisor and partner and have found out that every idea I have is already being put to practice by my partner. I have now realised Im not just doing these basis tasks bcoz Im still new, but bcoz I am not being given the chance to do anything else, as all the imp work is done my partner who is obviously better qualified and can get results quicker. I feel like there is no role for me and feel useless. On top of this I am worried about what will happen 2 years, will there be any work I have done myself for me to get a PhD out of.I am really interested in my topic but don't no if at this stage I am better off just getting out and starting another PhD in sep.
