***seriously, though. I'm a little worried about your suggestion to consider suicide as an option because then I start plotting.
----Just to be clear - I wasn't suggesting it as an option. I was saying that if it has become an option, one of the ways it works for me to handle this option is to give it a time line - a long stretch to completion, instead of insisting that my brain shut down the thoughts. For me, I find myself failing at even that and so the spiral continues.*******Considering it in an abstract sense- like... if I have a backyard this time next year I will plant a garden. or... if I feel up to it in a few years I might see what my uterus is capable of producing.
-----Exactly! This was what I was trying to get across, you said it so well. Think of yourself as the garden. Maybe you have snails right now, but next year!! :)I agree about overwriting your dissertation. This past weekend I watched so many people get bogged down in their intro's that they ran out of time to present what they really had done. And then they defended in a such a state of disorganization. Good enough, really is good enough. And yeah - publish for the world, not the academics. My project was a very intense look at unconscious motivation and projection and yet it had a humerous title and was completely user friendly. But the research is solid and the methodology consistent. So...so there.
Keep knitting. That's cool.
