I feel stressed out!!!! I am a phd student at a really prestigious university. I came here after doing my ma in a less prestigious institution.

There, I was the best!!! Easily... Now, I have to do a lot to prove myself. And I am just not used to being a mediocre student.... Ohhhh, what am I gonna do? I feel really bad.... In my undergrad also, again a prestigious uni., I had the same problem. It had taken a long time for me to establish some reputation.

Plus, I have no publications... Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I never had time to publish... If I try, I can... I know... But the others have. Some of the others... I should not sleep at all!!!!

What you need to do is take a chill pill!

If you can't get through uni how are you going to go with the rest of your life??!!

No-one is perfect, relax and enjoy.

You will look back some day and see how ridiculous it all was.

Goodluck and stress less

hello.
Look, it's ok that you are concerned about that matter, but it's not going to be the end of the world if your not the brightest student there. Just because that doesn't mean that you are a bad student or person.
Instead of beign stressed, you should take one or two days of reas - real rest, not thinking of works and study - and then go back to your works and do them the best you can. Throughout the year, you'll surely become better and better and get happier, ok?
But, in order to accomplish that goal, your health must be a priority!

Get better!
