      1. It’s funny how things can unfold real quick: Not only my impostor syndrome is slowly disappearing, but I’ve also found the mental space to finish this damn PhD thesis at an unprecedented rate w/o putting my mental health in danger I want this shit to finish, and fast

      I’ll definitely keep tweeting though, you’ll need more than writing a PhD to get rid of me 😏

    And once it’ll be done, I plan to have an extremely candid conversation about what happened during this PhD You will probably understand why I am so committed to fight abuses of various kinds in academia

      By the way, I didn’t found this mental space by myself. @YaminTadjeddine and Wafa have been instrumental. I have no advices to give, I’ll just say this: even though it took me a lot of time, asking for help from people I trust was a major step that changed everything.

        And by "people I trust" I include #EconTwitter When all of this will be over, I want academic econ to remember this as a testimonial of what support, kindness and thoughtfulness can do – instead of meanness, demeaning comments and toxic egos You guys are awesome

          Basically, I went from "I need to finish" to "I want to finish" It’s one word change but it changed everything
