I graduated with my PhD in May and here's all the things I've done since then! - slept until 11 am for 3 straight months - started to move my body 3-4x a week - progressed in physical therapy If you don't have a fancy postdoc, a prestigious tenure track position, a $$$$ alt-academic job, IT'S OKAY! The world will not end just bc you need time to recover from your PhD journey. Your worth is not in your degree, your occupation, etc. You are worthy bc you exist.
