I’m at the point where I feel I would be better off mentally if I stepped away, and I would honestly be okay with that. The problem is that I feel like my situation doesn’t allow me to do that. With my whole project planned to happen this summer with money spent on my housing for the summer and supplies for my experiment. I’m scared my project is going to turn into an absolute shit show. I passed my proposal yet the recent feedback I got was there’s no a good way to realistically test my hypothesis yet I’m getting no guidance on how to adjust even with reaching out to my advisor letting her know I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m just supposed to figure it out but I genuinely have no idea. I would just leave if I felt like I could. Has anyone left their projects like this? Or have advice on dealing with a lack of guidance when I just want someone to tell me what to do.

Okay so I passed my thesis proposal (masters)with condition. I have to add more expected results and broader impact. I gave my proposal last Thursday, when I found out about the revisions I have to make. I wasn’t too stressed about it but I know I work at a slower pace so I was hoping to get it done sooner than later. Note I also TA for my advisor and she gave me Tuesday of the next week off from TA so I could work on revisions. It’s now the next day and she’s asking for update. I told her I was planning on sending it over tomorrow (1 week from proposal) I thought this was reasonable but I feel like she’s guilting me for not getting it done in the time she “gave” to me to do. Thoughts?? I know it’s a masters program so everything moves faster and we are two weeks out from the end of the semester.
