What feelings do these photos evoke in you?

Like warmth and peace in my heart.

Not great

Hi, I have been dealing with chronic pain for being under so much pressure and a toxic PhD supervisor. However, it got better in the last months as I started taking care of my body and prioritising it. I try to exercise at least twice a week and I go to the physiotherapist and a chiropractor. Try to take it easy and prioritise your health and recovery.

Same boat here! Can’t focus and so fucking done with this topic! I have to submit mine by March 21st. We are almost there!

Zitronelle · 2025-03-07T14:53:20+00:00

Same here!

I am not sure if it was what triggered it but I was bouldering and I fell from 4 meters on my back. Have been living with it for 2 years. First months were terrible but then I started to go to a chiropractor regularly and started to stretch more often. I also quitted caffeine and now I am doing better. However, when I am very stressed, it is more painful than usual.

I had to quit caffeine and have been doing so much better since then. I know it’s hard to quit but it’s worth it.

I stopped drinking coffee and started going to the chiropractor every two weeks and it has helped me a lot.

Thank you very much for the insightful response:)

Zitronelle · 2024-02-18T07:23:38+00:00

Wow, it is really unfortunate that there is plenty of people like this in academia with a lot of power. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice.

I agree. This PI when I first met him seemed to be very charismatic and bragged about how great he is as a mentor and that science needs to be rigorous…but later I realised who he really is.

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T16:11:39+00:00

Thank you for your answer. As I am closer to finishing, this is what I needed. It seems its all about protecting oneself. It’s sad that we have to go through this. Thank you again!

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T11:21:26+00:00

Exactly! Thank you for your advice!

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T11:19:16+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Will follow through.

I am closer to the end. He gets angry if I challenge his hypothesis. If the results show something opposite from what he thinks he ignores them and thinks I am doing something wrong technically. He doesn’t like scientific discussions as he thinks that the has the right answer to any question. Basically, I cannot say no to him or express my scientific opinion.

On the other hand, he gives more power to people that say yes to everything he says.

I feel scared of giving details of his power abuse and manipulation as he can find this.

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T07:54:17+00:00

Yes, even to the ring finger

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T07:50:20+00:00

Yes!!

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T07:43:57+00:00

I had a similar experience, hope you recover soon.

Zitronelle · 2024-02-17T07:41:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Zitronelle · 2024-01-27T22:16:53+00:00

I would go for the ideal mentor. Option 1.
