If you have worked with me in the past and you would like to work with me again now is you chance to let me know - I'm trying to be a freelance epi/analytic person!

adhd is nothing but new fun and annoying ways to make me feel like i'm never going to finish my phd at this point. everything is wrong and i can't sit still and i have under 3 weeks until my deadline for corrections which feels IMPOSSIBLE

Sarah Stock @folkysar.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

I am *finally* starting to look at my thesis corrections (2 months post viva, 1 month pre deadline) and I truly wish I wasn't

Does anyone have any viva-prep tips? Am I meant to be actually DOING something? Because I can’t just reread my thesis over and over, can I?

The sky last night healed my whole being a little bit though oh my days

Uninstalled Instagram from my phone for a bit because I’m overwhelmed and only slightly falling apart and it doesn’t help… The amount that I find myself on autopilot going to open it is actually quite terrifying.

One PhD Thesis successfully submitted 😭😭😭 now for an afternoon wine and a lie down

I don't know if this will reach the right audience, because how do you get engagement on bluesky I don't know. BUT What did you get for yourself as a "wow I did my thesis!" reward? Bonus points if it's a tattoo - I want a PhD completion tattoo but I have no ideas. Many thanks #episky

I can tell I’m actually nearly ready to submit because my Mac has GROUND to a HALT every time I do ANYTHING, even she has had enough of this thesis 🥴

Sarah Stock @folkysar.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

You’ll be pleased to know that I did in fact receive my delivery on Wednesday and I was in fact making it all up according to Sainsbury’s investigation xxx

Blatant ableism and inaccessibility from @sainsburys.bsky.social this Thursday morning. I am so upset. ( messages are in the incorrect order because I can't switch them round because I'm in autistic shutdown now due to the stress of this situation) #neurodivergent #disability #accessibility

My thesis feels like a huge unmanageable beast that I cannot get hold of. It is like a bunch of jelly that I am trying to make look all nice & shiny, but I'm using a hammer to do so. A large part of me cannot see it ever being done (I'm sure "everyone feels that and you will", but I still feel it🥴)

Trying to write a cover letter for a job during Christmas gooch week ought not to be allowed 😒 That being said, if anyone wants to tell me what a good cover letter does/doesn't include please do. I need a job and I am actually quite good.

Sarah Stock @folkysar.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

This time of year is always such a lot. I am nowhere near where I thought I would be at the start of the year in basically any respect. And that's fine. This year has chucked a lot of stuff at me that I wasn't expecting it to I guess. But also it makes my brain go whizz whizz and it is annoying 😵‍💫🙃

Finishing a PhD is so... odd. "Oh well done for accomplishing such a huge piece of work, but now you must finish writing it without any more money because you didn't quite work fast enough (or faced barriers that were not quite extenuating enough to warrant an extension), best of luck x"

Hello and welcome to a new day on Writing is Boring and Hard and I Don't Want to. #PhDlife

Pleased to finally see my first PhD paper published this morning! (I will do a proper tweet about it later with the info but right now I am just being proud of myself!)

You know what. Finishing up a PhD is a bit shite. What do you mean I've now been paid for the last time, I have finish writing it with next to no income whilst also trying to find the time and energy to apply for jobs (& likely not even get shortlisted for the things I'm well qualified for).

Sarah Stock @folkysar.bsky.social · 09/10/2024

Honestly, how do you write a thesis when you have ADHD and writing makes you immediately basically fall asleep at the desk? What are the tips please #AcademicSky #PhDSky? I have like 2 months to draft this monster.

I applied for a job the other day that I would SMASH, I would DEMOLISH and would work so well with my PhD end date. Pls x

Can't help but feel that it is Unfair that my first PhD paper is subject to comments from 4 individual reviewers, I am but a small tiny epidemiology student trying my best. /hj

Hey bluesky, I have finally scuttled my way over here and I have no idea what I'm doing. As always, I'm here in search of neurodivergent PhD-doing friends & look forward to getting to chat away from El*n M*sk's watchful gaze 🫣
