You may want to talk to your advisor, grad program coordinator, department chair or another trusted faculty or staff member: most of us aren’t trained mental health professionals, but we care deeply about our students and will do our best to help you get the support you need. If you’re struggling, let someone know so we can try to help. Honestly, struggling with your mental health is a pretty normal part of graduate school…most of us have been there ourselves at one time or another.
