Anyone aware of a qualitative method that could be used to analyze undergraduate student papers written about themselves and their own lived experiences?

I am 25 and am in a non-terminal Masters/PhD program in Neuroscience. In this past year, my second year, I have had to take off last semester and this semester due to a severe episode of what I now know is bipolar disorder, that left me incapacitated until recently (severe depression/suicidal thoughts, anxiety, visual and auditory hallucinations, disordered thinking). My advisors have been wonderful--they suggested that I take a leave of absence for this full year, but to continue doing research in the laboratory as I recover and learn coping strategies. Is there anybody here who is dealing with/had to deal with bipolar disorder in graduate school? What helps you most to alleviate stress/control any symptoms that flare up? What makes your life easier?

Anyone else having a hard time finishing these last few papers? I'm hoping to find a virtual writing buddy who'll keep me on task.

I am so discouraged and feel I will never complete my dissertation proposal. I submitted my proposal and was told by my committee that the topic was too large. I have since then tried to narrow the topic but seem to be getting no where. I am pursuing a PhD in Biblical Counseling. My topic centers around a unique technique (which uses prayer as a primary method) used by a ministry in helping counselees overcome various emotional problems dealing with unforgiveness, resentment, and overcoming moral failures, etc. There is no specific scholarly literature on the technique used by the ministry (so this would be adding to the field of counseling methods) so how may I go about finding the literature and narrowing my topic. Any help that you can give is greatly appreciated.

I need a copy editor with experience in editing dissertations in the fields of social sciences. Living in CA, but online cooperation is OK. The draft is about 250 pages, double space.

How do I come to terms with the idea that it would be better for me to leave graduate school? I've been wrestling with this idea since the second semester of my first year. Right now I am in my third semester after having decided that I would do my masters and then leave. Now I am really starting to regret my decision. I am very unhappy but the thought of stopping just short of one semester before getting my masters also makes me unhappy as I would be quitting. The problem is that I am completely and utterly lost and my knowledge of my themes of interest is rudimentary at best and not enough to write a good thesis unless I do yet another semester, and for a masters that is something I would never do. I think part of the problem is that I've already decided this is not for me and I am not going to continue in the program after I finish the masters (I already have a plan of action after May, or end of summer at the latest). Maybe I've just come to realize that it doesn't seem worth it for me to do it. At the same time, however, I don't want to just quit. I am unhappy but I also fear the thought of leaving graduate school and essentially giving up, being that I am only one semester away. I think at this point I do not care about even getting the grade, but if that is the case, is it even worth it to try?
