Actually it's quite alarming that so many PhD students declare to have problems with eating, either too much or too little.
I was thinking it's only my stupid, not very sophisticated way of dealing with stress.
What does it say? That studying is stressful above everything else? What about dangerous substances, biohazard, radioactivity, computer monitors damaging sight and so on?
wow, DanB its the best of those lists that I have ever read and have to say it was a comprehensive one. When I started the post I only meant physical problems but the mental disaster is worse. I have grown really sloppy after starting my PhD. before I was full of energy and did so many things including a paid job which actually made me more active, so the weight gain and not being bothered about meals are both in.
