To add to the important points here, discussions around anxiety as an emotion/emotional state, and stress, both normal and abnormal levels and learning to understand and cope with these is vital from a very young age. We don’t talk about anxiety as an emotional spectrum enough.

Having one of those days when you have a crisis of confidence over your work/research/ability so taken a moment to think of all I have achieved 💪🏻 Proud of myself. And more coming out this year! #impostersyndrome #twitterstorians

I attended the Guy Fawkes Carnival in Shepton Mallet last night. Here is how it is connected to history and why it is important: a thread 1/#twitterstorians

Delighted that my @BSECS panel with @emily__cotton @ImogenPeck2 @KateGibson22 has been accepted! Our panel is on Growing Up and Grown Up: Family Emotions and The Letter so if you are interested, see you there! #twitterstorians

Reflecting on my broad but niche area of expertise. An 18th c.-1945 historian interested in emotions, esp. anxiety, intersected with health/well-being, political, social, gender and family history, and personal/life writing. Anyone else got an interesting mix? #twitterstorians

[Dr Rachel Bynoth @RachelBynoth]

There is real ignorance about the HE sector - a lot of people are bearing the brunt of the cost of living crisis, living hand to mouth. Even many of those able to afford things now don’t have the security to do so in x months, waiting to see if they get more work. 1/

[Dr Rachel Bynoth @RachelBynoth]

This came back on my timeline this evening. It was a lovely discussion on my journal article on female distance education through letters in the 18thc. and learning distance rhetoric, something we learn all the time today with and through different technologies #twitterstorians

I have been mistaken for a National Trust guide all day at Stourhead, in the gardens 😂 What I was actually doing is eating my lunch and speaking to my students about the history of consumption! #twitterstorians

Does anyone know of publications which discuss growing up in the 18th century in any respect? Bonus points if they use letters as sources and are situated in an English context. #twitterstorians @BSECS @livesofletters @RoyalHistSoc @long18thsem
