After 5.5 years, I'm in the final few weeks of my PhD and I'm physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Does anyone have any words of wisdom about post-PhD recovery and how long it takes to return to feeling 'normal' and motivated again? @AcademicChatter @FromPhDtoLife
I appreciate everyone's input. I have been wondering if there's something wrong with me for feeling as exhausted as I am. Wow, 6 months! I was expecting maybe a month, but I'll adjust my expectations and career planning accordingly.
Pre-covid 19, I know of one PhD who went hiking in NZ for 6 weeks and I'd love to do have done the same in Japan. As much as i like the idea, I have a family to look after, so running away for an extended time isn't as much of an option.
