I hate being a non-avoidant socially anxious person, it means I actually participate in a lot of social events, but always feel like shit both before and after (and like 60% of my cognitive resources are always spent on thinking about social events).
When you listen back to your online lecture presentations 😂 #academicBS #AcademicChatter #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicTwitter #phd #phdchat #phdposition #phdlife #phdvoice #scicomm #phdadvice #phd_life
How's my PhD going? just fine! #AcademicChatter #phdvoice #phdfriend #PhDgenie @OpenAcademics
What "tenure track" really means... #AcademicChatter #PhDlife #phdfriend #phdchat #PhDgenie @OpenAcademics @HaPhDsupervisor
s/o to all the coauthors/editor eyes that point out & compliment the strong parts of a paper in the midst of the critiques. #AcademicChatter #phdchat

The mobility requirement is devasting if you have mental health problems. I'm in a new country and I haven't found a new psychologist yet, my partner is leaving for our home country tomorrow. I'm scared. #AcademicChatter #AcademicMentalHealth @academicvoices @PostdocVoice
When you have to write into a grant how great your supervisor and institute are after complaining about them all day.
For anyone having one of “those' days. Just here to remind you that you matter, you are loved, just take it one moment at a time, one second at a time. #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #bpd #adhd #hiddenillness #hsp
They should make a reality show where they take regular people and ask them to read the methods of a (non-hazardous) journal article and try to reproduce the results. #AcademicTwitter #PhDlife @AcademicBS
I'm so scared of outing my mental health problems I even worry to like any mental health tweets on my main account. 😕 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #AcademicMentalHealth
Completely agree, having the best mentor (for yourself) is even more important than your topic I would argue (as long as you have some interest in the topic).
This is so important. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and show some genuine interest.
I get imposter syndrome for my depression. #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicTwitter @PostdocVoice @AcademicChatter
I am not #bipolar, I cope and manage with a mental illness called bipolar disorder. When somebody is suffering with cancer, they are not called "cancer." Just a tiny clarification that makes those of us with bipolar disorder and other mental health illnesses feel better.
