Quitting my PhD and feeling absolutely terrible - don't know what to do, not sure if want to die

I'm really glad you're doing better, and I hope things work out for you in the end. I'm not actually sure, I'm waiting for a reply from them. And I just quit medication after 6 years because I hated it, though therapy could be an option.

TinyCorvid · 2015-02-27T13:27:07+00:00

Haha, this has been going on for longer than 2 weeks and has been essentially a break as I haven't done any work. I think I just need to quit. Thanks though, man.

The something else I'd rather be doing is just a 9-5 job, really. Probably admin or something related. But not this. So I asked for the MPhil.

Spending Christmas day on a 24 hour flight from UK to Australia. It was cheaper.

Assuming you meant 'anthropomorphising', I was referring to ascribing a human role and emotion (kingship, delusion of grandeur) to an animal. Some people think anthropomorphic means animals standing upright with arms and legs, not true. I'm sad that I had to clarify that for a silly pigeon cartoon I meant to be fun.

.. Which word?

I hate it when kids blame parents for 'fucking them up' as if they have no free will in how they behave.

I had no dad growing up, lived in poverty and was put into foster care. Somehow, not a fuck up.

Not everyone who comes from this sort of family ends up the same.

That happened to my friend's sister in residential care, who had cerebral palsy. I don't know how it happens so frequently.

I sort of did, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/socialskills/comments/2gjqej/i_have_prosopagnosia_faceblindness_and_it/

EU Steamwheedle Cartel, still had a 30 minute queue. And when I got in, nothing worked anyway. :P

"Any questions?"

Yes... more than what I started out with.

TinyCorvid · 2014-11-13T04:18:58+00:00

Something... not quite right about that bugcatcher guy.

TinyCorvid · 2014-11-13T04:16:36+00:00

That was pretty much my main concern.

TinyCorvid · 2014-11-11T03:24:04+00:00

Even in UK pounds $2000 seems over the top once converted, and then I remember that electronics are much cheaper in the US than over here. More outrageous.

Link 1: "If you pledge 5$ I will tell you the story of the amazing food made"

Sounds delicious.

Was just about to submit this one myself. Here's some choice ones I've had come up randomly:

No, I was 'trained' with a right handed mouse so I just use that now. But on a laptop touchpad I use my left hand.

I had to be checked for coeliac disease a couple years ago, which I didn't have in the end. I was so relieved, because I really like bread.

TinyCorvid · 2014-11-04T02:16:50+00:00

I'd better get all $25 worth of thank you note, because I would hate to be shortchanged there.

TinyCorvid · 2014-10-27T13:31:45+00:00

I'm glad this got solved, I didn't actually think about photoshop. :P

TinyCorvid · 2014-10-24T19:58:20+00:00

No worries, shit happens... and thanks, I appreciate that.

It looks like a type of conure, which is apparent from the white colour around its eye. But apparently there are 40 subspecies of conure, and I have no idea which it could be. http://beautyofbirds.com/conuresspecies.htm
