As a former academic I have chosen a job where I never have to do academic style writing again...apart from on friday, where I had to rewrite a methods section to 'make an argument'.
I did this for years and every time it made my skin crawl. I detest it. It makes me want to be sick. It rips open all those years where nothing I wrote would ever be good enough, that even if it was literally just a statement of fact it had to be backed up in triplicate with other people's research. I don't know why this upsets me so violently. Well I do, it's unprocessable PhD trauma, and it's weird as someone who suffered for literally a decade with sexual violence based trauma that the bullshit of academia has put me in the same place, but to my shame it has. And ironically more people would probably be sympathetic to that than the trauma that defined my 20s.
Anyway my client has emailed good job team the methods section is perfect no notes and now I'm going to look for a new therapist.
Abolish the academy. Quit your PhD.
(the irony of googling PhD trauma and being offered an advertisement for...the PhD programme I was on. They couldn't make it up.)
