Hey Olivia,
This thread has actually moved me to tears! I have felt exactly the same about academia being like stuffing yourself into a dark, airless chamber, as you described. I'm no longer in academia, for a range of reasons. For me, leaving was like stepping out, blinking, into the sunshine! Very disorientating, but a massive relief too. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. x
