Should I understand the feelings of self-hate, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and executive dysfunction during thesis writing as confirmation that academia is not for me?

Letter Nine: Dear I Hate Thesis Writing

Thesis writing is a very specific kind of writing, and particularly if you are at an institution with a strong structure for the thesis or dissertation, it can take the joy out of the research topic and writing so easily. And this is coming from someone who very much considers themselves a writer… I would probably venture to guess that most PhD theses are written without feeling particularly great about the writing or the writing process. You would certainly not be alone with that sentiment.
