or could this be the return of Otto . looks like halloween is here.. 7 days to go.

Sounds just like my PhD. I did decide I hate the lack of structure etc etc. and am looking to move into industry when I can actually get a job. I was a masochist and just stuck it out and decided I should finish.
Glad the original poster is feeling better anyhow.

Thanks everyone xxxxx Adem, I am a very reactive person just one comment can turn my mood inside out...maybe you are right and i have a problem with perspective but its just how I am and I think how alot of people doing academic work also seem to be. I think we all live with so much criticism (not always bad) that we start to over analyse and second guess hence why we find it harder than most to get that perspective. Thankyou huge amounts to everyone who has left a nice comment...just as one bad word makes me down just one nice word really really counts hugs to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxx
