Hey, nice to know there are other smarty-pants academic types here!

I feel so alone in my tiny little academic world. I know a few other grad students with anxiety or depression issues, but no one else who is handling anything a little more...complicated... The isolation of dissertation work can be so miserable as it is, but it's getting even worse as I keep thinking that maybe all my success is just chemical and if I take care of myself like I should, then it'll go away and I'll turn into a burned-out lightbulb.
