So this really doesn't have much to do with an Addison's other than it's my Addison's is partially what's got me considering this. I'm less than a year from finishing my PhD. I've still got some data to collect, but I've all ready started writing what I can. I feel like I should finish because I'm so close, but because of circumstances with my advisor I haven't been able to take the classes and such that I need to get the jobs I want in the future. My advisor is constantly on my back for no reason and work is very stressful. I've had a few mini Addison's crisis as a result of the stress at work and it's made me consider if it is worth it or not.
I really care about my health and realize that all grad programs don't have to be like that. I'm thinking about picking up a class or two that I'm missing and applying to Psychology programs becuase that's what I really want to do. I hate doing research that has no implication for treatment and I really would rather work one on one with people. I'll never be happy doing the jobs that I'm qualified for.
I feel scared, but empowered at the same time. I'm really not sure what to do. As I'm paid by my program, leaving would also mean finding a real job until I'm into another program. So much to think about, but I think I want to do it. Can any help?
