My name is Jacquie and I am a graduate student struggling with writing my thesis!

I decided to write a list of things that I've tried in a bid to make my thesis writing process seamless. Sometimes it's better to see your thoughts as opposed to hearing them all the time. Even if that's in the wee hours of the morning (See date and time details for more information). As a future therapist (🤞🏿), I decided to see myself as a client. I then challenged myself to truthfully rate myself on a scale of 1 to 10 to what extent I actually tried the said technique. Here are the results. It's best if you begin from the title and follow the list chronologically.

21. Writing a list at 3.00 am (as my computer installs updates just as I've tried to psych myself into writing) to deal with major anxiety after trying to numb it for the past 12 hours 😬 ⁹/¹⁰

22. Going to bed feeling defeated ⁹/¹⁰

23. Deciding to create a blog to document my struggles... 🤔

For anyone going through the writing process and struggling, please know that you're not alone. The struggle continues...
