1. If you feel like you need to panic (or cry), feel free to do it. You must allow yourself to feel (and express) like you're the biggest loser ever walked the earth.

2. You seem to have an analytical mind given what you wrote. Let that guide you. For example: maybe you recognize that the PhD will be a big multiplier commercially in your career. The right question could be: how do I finish this quickly, effectively and efficiently so that I can reap the benefits over a lifetime. Hint: maybe ChatGPT can help.

3. You've been in love. You will be again.

4. Screw self-help. Your _actions_ are the only thing that will get you forward. Let actions shape your thoughts.

Good luck.
