gosh I linked the same post twice. Really am tired, huh?

Yeah I'm sorry to hear you gotta go through this, and that pic is certainly a mood.

pffft, oh shinjinon now that's a facet of you I rarely get to see! That got me to snicker at least. Hope the rest of your day will pan out pleasantly at least.

And you struggle to, right? Share your inhibitions, I don't know if I can give you something actionable but it's worth a shot.

It's sweet of you two to care.
Many little things, really. I have had a lot of stress in the past few months with a death, some drama, work related issues.. the past few weeks I spent basically one and a half days working from home to not receive a fucking parcel, only for it to arrive in my absence and get stolen.. But that's honestly just the straw that broke the camel's back. I am more or less sunsetting my academic career this year, applying for one more perm position before I radically pivot and try other things, which would mean I would move back to my country of origin and see what I'll do. But that is future siganon's problem, and I try not to borrow grief from the future. The only thing I can say with certainty is that a lot of my problems are tied to my unstable circumstances as a postdoc and that era will be over in maybe a year and change, maybe a few months. But it is almost over. I also need a vacation, and fortunately tomorrow is my last day at work before I have it. Running on fumes.
As for the reaction I mentioned.. I am just protective of people here, generally, and want people to feel encouraged to work on themselves.
