There has been a recent flurry of publications from friends and colleagues all around me! Of course, I'm proud of them for their achievements, and honoured to know them. But it's really starting to make me feel inadequate, especially when even my experiments are not going smoothly :( Been at my microsat work for ages yet I am still troubleshooting, and unsure of my sampling method :( :( Yet it seems people all around are publishing on these damn microsats. It's prolly just me :(
And then I find this paper from 2007 on larval rearing which documents their changes in vertical distribution!! Same idea as my other set of experiments but seems to be conducted in a much more realistic manner. Oh gosh I am so screwed. 2007!! Why didn't I come across this paper in my literature search? How is any of my work of relevance, or going to be publishable...? :'(
I feel so useless. :(

HANG IN THERE my dear!!! :)
I understand the stress of other people publishing and all, but don't let that get you down k! You came this far, and worked through PCR failures and all, don't give up! :) Try diverting the negativity of stress into a drive to overcome the microsat problems. YOU CAN, YOU CAN, JIAYOU!!! :)
