I'm feeling rather down these days. There are many things going well in my life - my awesome home life, wonderful husband, visiting brother, healthy family and friends, etc. - but I am feeling discouraged by several other things, especially my stressful tech job and some school issues. I feel lost, like very little I do with my 10-hour work/ ( Read more... )

Miss Mandy - I'm so sorry that you're feeling so lost and discouraged. Keep plugging at things and I think you're going to come through okay. I think that a lot of times "mixed signals" are the most difficult to overcome because they cause you to quesiton yourself - the most unsettling feeling of all.

It sounds like you have a great attitude about things and you're able to look at it from a healthy perspective. Which is all good, and helps me to know that you're on the right track!

Your post made me think about a few things...and post for myself. So you know, my post this evening started as a response to this post of yours. As I was responding to you, I quickly realized I had a post, not a response.

From everything I've heard, PhD issues like yours are more the norm than not. :-/ I don't know if that's any consolation, but you've got a lot of company. It's bound to get better, too.

Starting to get worried Miss Mandy. This is an awfully long time for a low mood. Time to update and post something new, even if it is an on-going low point.

By the way, changing your layout didn't count as "posting" hehe

Ah, you didn't see my latest post? I'm feeling better - taking control of things and coming in to work later and leaving earlier. I spoke to my boss and mentioned that the schedule was unsustainable, and she's working to get me into a different project that doesn't penalize me for being part-time. I'm still a little over-worked, but I have recourse. Thanks for thinking of me!

Yes,
I somehow missed that last posting. Argh! I hate when my computer stops auto-updating blog entries. Now I feel behind! hehe

Glad things are getting better. I'm impressed with your stance as well. "I am woman hear me roar" is still a good motto, despite its 70's roots.
