The depression thread

There’s plenty darker than it Joe, believe me.

It’s a fucking slog but there’s worse

If everyone doing a PhD is depressed and everyone is depressed around Christmas and Limerick people are the most depressed people in Ireland then would a Limerick man doing a PhD around Christmas time be the most depressed man on earth?

What could be said to cheer such a man up? Should you take the approach of saying he won’t always be a Limerick man doing a PhD at Christmas time or should you take the approach of telling him that currently he’s at absolute worst-case-scenario rock-bottom and it’s not actually that bad, he’s basically coping ok?

Pay no attention to that article Joe. The only valid reason to do a PhD is because of passion for a subject matter and the willingness to do a deep dive to understand it better.

Anyone spending the time claimed at it shouldn’t be doing it. I bet between the riding, drinking and burglary career our most esteemed TFK doctor didn’t spend 10% of that.

What value are all these PhDs giving anyway? An excuse for lads not to get a job.

You get to put ‘Dr’ on your passport

And then get laughed at by border control

Could you.bluff an upgrade though?

Possibly, but could lead to that totes awks moment when the ould bird in steerage is going blue and you’re explaining that you’re a doctor of English with a particular focus on the lesser known works of JRR Tolkein.

Anyone who introduces themselves as Dr something or another would want to cop the fuck on unless they’re willing to stick their thumb up someone else’s hole
