I think that my obsession for tinnitus is far worse than tinnitus itself. But the fear that it can interfere with my academic career and my studies really disrupts me and make me feel miserable.

Today I talked to a professor about my situation and when I'm asked to send my pubblications I'm always overhelmed with anxiety, as I published very few papers...
I hate Academia but I can't live without studying.

Today after I finished smoking my pipe I began to feel dizzy and my balance is now bad... Maybe I have to quit smoking.

Damn, it's so difficult to study if you are in the middle of an anxiety crisis :(

Today is so cold that I wear a parka inside, while having a heater on my desk.

Accidentally dropped my laptop... The screen is ruined. I'll never have the money to repair it or to buy a new one :(

Hi to all! I'm looking for a post-doc scolarship. I study aesthetics, philosophy of art, philosophy of music.
Are there any research groups in EU (or outside) that are interested in these fields of study? Anyone here interested in these topics?

Hi to all :)
I'm a former PhD student from Italy. I left academic career two years ago. Mainly for health problems (probable meniere's and intrusive tinnitus). Now I want to try again to enter into the academic field. I study philosophy and I'm interested in aestethic of music and political philosophy.Tinnitus is very intrusive and prevent me to concentrate on my studies. Is there anyone here that suffer from it and can give me some advice on how to manage it? Thanks a lot :) :)
