The PhD slump is not a myth

When I first started my PhD two years ago, I heard whispers about a so called “PhD slump.” About how in the middle of the PhD journey, people want to scream, and cry, and give it all up. I thought it was a myth, something that happens to a few people, something that would never happen to me, because I was so grateful to get the opportunity to research something I was passionate about as my job.
