I think I want to drop out

[ShakeofFara]

I graduated with an ordinary degree in 2009. Last year I decided to return for my honours year before looking at post grad courses in my field.

I am struggling massively and am actually suffering anxiety attacks whenever I attempt to do some work. I feel totally overwhelmed and want to leave and find a job as I can't go on feeling like this.

Can you identify exactly what it is you're struggling with? Coping with the workload? Essay writing? Understanding the concepts? Has the subject moved on since you graduated, so your previous knowledge is out of date and you're struggling to catch up?

If you can identify specific areas of difficulty, can you ask your tutor for help?

If it's just one year, you must be halfway through now; you've made it this far and you're nearer the end than the beginning.
