Thanks. I am focused on moving on and figuring my life out, but I feel like it's causing me to neglect other important aspects of my life.

I am also a student in my Masters program, and I haven't been paying attention as closely as I was before.

That sounds difficult. You sound like a strong person still persevering in your Masters even through this difficult time even if you can't pay attention as closely as before.

I remember a bad breakup too where I wasn't sure how the future would go. It can be scary not knowing what will come. It sounds like having a Master's degree can really help you be independent though.

Yes I hope so and I hope I can get through this program.

I had to repeat a class and it took an extra year to finish my graduate school. The feeling of accomplishment and grit I developed made a huge difference though in my future abilities to cope with major stresses. You too will come out stronger.

Yeah that's somewhat of the boat I'm now in. I just want to finish and create a new life but I have to reassess and make new goals.

That sounds like a great plan. You sound like a very motivated person getting a masters degree is so difficult and you are working toward it. You will do well. I wish you all the best.

Perhaps there is a counselor at school that could help you with reworking through some of your goals?
assistant

Yes there may be. I have to look into it.

There may be other students as well who are going through the same things as you that you could chat with.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
That's a good idea. I need to talk with people who understand and who just won't tell me to get over it.
user

Absolutely. I think things will turn around for you. You have a lot going for you and are very intelligent.
