    Progress got a reaction from lincoln.hawks in Grad school and mental illness--how do you cope?   
    You guys are courageous AF.  I have physical disabilities that I hide when I can, its hard for me to even write on a damned message board about my struggles with mental health.  I just applied this round after working full-time for nearly a decade.  I became so tunnel visioned that my relationship with my life-partner withered away and broke, then my living situation fell apart, then everything else fell down.  
    I'm starting to doubt myself something serious.  Good luck to you on the path!

    Progress got a reaction from E-P in Shorter Term Job   
    I'm in a super similar circumstance, worked at the same company from '09 until this past november when big layoffs started.  I was already in the process of applying anyhow, and obviously was hoping to leave soon, but it still hurt, and has put stuff in a bit of a bad way.  
    My advice (assuming you don't mind burning your short-term bosses, and that you were not working in government) is think of who the major competitors are to your former employer and apply for positions within those businesses.  My experience is that moving to the other side of a rivalry can certainly make you resume jump to the top of the pile.  Apply directly to the company if possible, without intermediaries.  
    I see you already have a couple acceptances, congratulations!

    Progress got a reaction from StemCellFan in 2018 Neuroscience PhD Applicants and Admission Results   
    Ohhhh I hope so.  After nearly putting it out of my head for 5 weeks the itch has become REALLY bad.  Like,  loading the admissions website every morning and evening type of bad.  
    Also, funny handle stemcellfan!  I'm picturing a super enthusiastic sports nut with an hat shaped like an undifferentiated cell and a big foam hand shaped like an amnio needle, jumping up and down shouting "grow, grow, grow"!  Is that weird?
