Feeling one hundred times better this week. Thank you for the support and reminding me that I'm not alone in this

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

I have always been pleased that no matter how difficult I found my PhD I was always glad I was doing it... Cue the final 6 months, juggling writing up & new job where part of me now just wants to quit because I'm not convinced I can do this without destroying myself #phdlife

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

@gingerly_onward We're in the less said the better writing up phase! The end of the year is coming both too quickly and not soon enough 😂

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

@DrKLSpence @tamzinfurtado Thank you both. I definitely need the encouragement this week! Feeling like nothing I do is good enough... Let's hope for a better day tomorrow!

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

@gingerly_onward I tell everyone to do this now, go for it!

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

Productive day working, sitting in the shade of the garden. Probaby need to try it more often. Now just wish I could match up expectations of output with reality!

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

So... I've almost finished redoing the work I did in my dream last night.... #phdlife #notimpressed #osmosis

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

Been made to feel very welcome in my new role at Health Inequalities Lead for @nhsbt. Can't wait to implement some of my ideas. Feeling like I can really make a difference #healthinequalities #wellbeing

@Panzyy Never ever say you are 'just' anything, you are important and valuable. I have been guilty of this too; saying that I'm 'just' a scientist when surrounded by first doctors and now vets. I try not to now... I chose a different path, that doesn't mean you or I are inferior.

Can my #academia colleagues help point me in the direction of resources aimed at #maturestudents after they start studying? Trying to pull together stuff for my uni's Mature Students Association, but can only find stuff about applying to uni #phdchat #AcademicChatter

@DrCEWylie I feel your pain. We haven't seen my partner's parents since last Christmas, due to covid restrictions and not wanting to risk it. On a positive note they had their first covid jabs last weekend... Hope we both get to see our loved ones soon

When you get a call at 21:39 on a Sunday telling you that your supermarket delivery arriving between 22:00-23:00 is no longer coming and you only have enough milk for one cup of tea @SoVeryBritish #firstworldproblems

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

A lot has been said to sympathise with parents #homeschooling their children... A shout out to other partners of teachers who now get to listen to daily A level #Maths lessons #phdlife #distraction

@natdyerwild @jilly_mackay @OpenAcademics I started my PhD at 34 and still going. I'm pleased I finally took the plunge to do it. It's been tough but I have never regretted my decision. I had savings behind me, but will always be grateful to my partner for enabling me not to worry about keeping a roof over our head

[Chantil Sinclair @ChantilSinclair]

It's that time between Christmas and New Year when you dust off that paper you've been meaning to finish drafting and then spend two days trying to work out what you were talking about #phdlife #publications #academia

@EpiJackie Perfect!
