In last night's dreams, I was back working in retail.

On, I'm sure, an unrelated note, I'm exhausted this morning.

#AcademicMentalHealth

Which is going to win today? The ambition and inspiration I found at the conference I attended last week or the depression and ambivalence of conference withdrawal that swarmed me as soon as I got home?

Sometimes mentorship means swallowing your social anxiety so you can celebrate your students' accomplishments.

I confess that I hate that part of mentorship.

I'm feeling a bit more like myself than I have in quite a while.

It won't last, of course, but at least for now it's nice.

Will this be a productive day? I have no idea. However, I did at least get in touch with Social Security about Mom's passing and canceled one of her subscriptions so, regardless of what else I might do, I can at least count those accomplishments.

Ugh! Today I just can't. My head is absolutely not in the game.

#AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicMastodon

I've resolved this week to attend to the necessary and the urgent. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake.

#AcademicMentalHealth

Class this morning went reasonably well. It wasn't my best lecture by a long shot, but it wasn't bad, either. Mostly, it just felt good to be back with students.

Now, I'm just staring at my desk, trying to remember what work needs to be done and how to do it.

Stressed and depressed but I'm pleased with this lil illustration I made for my dissertation methods section. Can't wait to be #PhDone lol.

Power abuse in #academia has many forms.

A word, an attitude, even just an email reply.

Hiring you or offering you a #PhD position do not give them the rights to #bully you.

Academic bullying is real. 💔

Maybe now is a good time to update your work email signature and add your work boundaries #Work #Wellbeing #HigherEd #AcademicMentalHealth #NewYear

Started with a mindful planning (and reflection) #PowetHourOfWriting today and I really like the Making it happen Worksheet form the Blurt Foundation (part of their downloadable tools) https://www.blurtitout.org/product/entire-downloads-library/?doing_wp_cron=1672836283.2574610710144042968750 #MentalHealth #AcademicMentalHealth

This forthcoming JEL looks interesting + important! #AcademicMentalHealth https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jel.20201555&&from=f

I am in constant battle. It takes time from my research that I am passionate about. It is exhausting and makes me one step closer to say goodbye to academia. You know, I have been rejected from some applications because they preferred someone more native. So, why bother?

Seeing @OmidVEbrahimi 's post (https://mastodon.social/@OmidVEbrahimi/109399909428335314) made me want to bring up the conversation that I tried to had on Twitter about a more realistic experience of being a PhD student in Europe as a non-European

see the twitter post (https://twitter.com/callmeboyk/status/1458843782275907600?t=aEMEodoW8OFQapFIqPFkdA&s=19)

I'd like to take this opportunity to expand what other difficulties I experienced as a researcher just because I wasn't priviliged enough to born in Europe.

I have just finished reading "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD — A Survival Guide" by Zoë J. Ayres (@Zjayres) and found it to provide an empathetic, authoritative and practical guide to managing mental health that is contextualised to the experience of a PhD student.

My review is online here: https://www.academic-marginalia.org/2022/11/managing-your-mental-health-during-your.html

💫 "Not another yoga session." 💫
This chapter title stopped me in my tracks. It captures exactly how I feel about many efforts to support #mentalhealth of #PhD students in #academia. Efforts that mean well, but fail to address core causes of high #burnout & depression rates in #graduateschool.

So, although I do love yoga, I could NOT agree more.

Just discovered & cannot wait to read the whole book by @Zjayres 👉 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-14194-2
