Had a lovely time with my Twitter friend. She’s a professor of psychiatry who also suffers greatly with major depression. We talked about my PhD. I said I’d been looking at other jobs. She didn’t say, “Oh you mustn’t give up!” and she understood what I meant when I said I just wanted to do hands-on research as was questioning whether I really wanted to write a thesis. She’s a really good egg

There is a young couple living near me whose vibe I really admire. They grow herbs and tulips in pots outside their house and run a veg box scheme. Today when I walked by the woman was sitting outside in the sunshine hand weaving a basket. So wholesome!

Tom’s friend: You probably don’t read the Daily Mail…

Me: No, we do not!

Friend: Why not?

Me: Because it’s fucking fascist rag

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight

And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land, all the land

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light

And now at last we plainly see

@50years_music @bethroots Whoa, flashbacks to primary school!

One thing I really enjoy about Fedi is the imagined relationships I have with people (not like that). The imagined alliances (ride together, die together). The imagined feuds (you have unfollowed me now prepare to face your doom). There are people I get mixed up, including two guys in particular - one who's very gentle and sweet and one who posts stuff like "FUCKING, gonna go out and punch a fuckn.... baby, grr, bloody... bastard" (sorry I couldn't think of anything they might actually say so did my best approximation). In reality it's just people, bored, saying "I had a sandwich" then there's some berk (me) on the other side of the planet going "YES! I eat sandwiches too! We are now brethren! Let us go into battle together". I wonder if I might spend too much time on social media.

I have booked a counselling session with the university wellbeing service. Not to discuss bipolar - they won’t touch severe mental illness - but to discuss my resistance to going back to my PhD. I have a massive block about it and feel I have lost all interest/momentum. I want to talk through whether I really want to go back.

@Sharonbw Thanks. I will also chat it over with my friend over lunch, she’s a retired academic psychiatrist who’s suffered from lifelong mental illness. I’m sure she must’ve had many doubts along the way
