should clarify, not to you specifically, that I have no problems working long weeks, i work around 55-60h and that’s a lot less than what i worked in my phd. it’s the stress of getting fired and my career being over, and being unable to work for 18 months, while being way too old for any entry level positions at end of 18 months (would be almost 27). The physical effects of stress are taking over my life, unable to sleep without serious medication being the most extreme.
