One of my closest friends was completely overwhelmed during the final stage of doctoral thesis writing. The deadlines were tight, feedback was confusing, and stress was affecting their health. I couldn’t write the thesis for them, but I helped with planning, structuring chapters, and proofreading drafts. Sometimes, just having someone review ideas and point out gaps makes a huge difference. We broke the work into small tasks, set realistic timelines, and stayed consistent. Watching my friend slowly regain confidence reminded me that support matters. Thesis writing doesn’t have to be a lonely journey if you reach out at the right time.
