Have it something awful for the past 6 weeks or so, kinda on and off. This weekend just gone was fairly bad. Couldn’t put down the days at all. Every minute felt like an hour. Couldn’t be a ease no matter what I did. November is a prick of a month for it.
Back at work today though and feel ok. Keep busy Joe. Get as much exercise as you are able. Watch a film or two that you know you’ll enjoy. Anything that’ll keep your mind someway busy.
and don’t listen to radiohead
The winter hit me woefully bad a good few years ago out of nowhere. It still causes anxiety in the run up to the clocks changing at the end of October but I battle on through and I am beginning to really like the winter again these days.
Terrible advice. Radiohead cheers me up.
Keep the head up, you’ll rise above the shit beneath you.
Well it should work for you anyway. Here’s a warmer for you…

I fear the future anxiety is taking me over job etg
Wasn’t able to go into work today myself Joe. I’d say focus on getting better. You’ll find most other things will become easy then
Scared of unployment it’s killing me
I’m thriving in it…
You have a job
??? Yea
You can have mine if you really stuck, I’m thinking of going on the dole for a few months. Get my due reward from the government. Looking for a career change next year.
Go back living in your parents gaff, stay a couple of nights in a garda station and ask for a free house aswell. 12 months on the scratcher and your new house and you’ll be set up. Tell some local authority you’re a tinker also, might get a bit of land thrown in. You can then go back working for a competitor of pp, boyles or some other hellhole of a company. Job is oxo.
thats a great phrase, I’d like to see it used more on here
I personally fucking hate it tbh but it winds up a few of the usual suspects.
that is that then, the job is oxo
I agree 100%. Bit of depressing music always cheers me up. Good to know you’re not the most/only miserable person on the planet. I’d also recommend reading someone like Primo Levi for a bit of perspective. Life can feel like shit but really suffering is all subjective. Just keep challenging yourself and keep busy. In your case @joeplayer don’t be worrying about what comes next just get the PhD done and fuck everything else for the time being.
