It is absolutely normal, considering the fear that we have received after r&r. Surely though, your revised thesis would be better than your first submitted thesis. Chances are that the examiners will be perfectly happy with it; and if not, minor corrections will do the trick.
I HATE r&r too
Hi there
For us R&R students who are disappointed, confused, disheartened and the like, I found that the following link can give some generic instructions on how to act if one receives from minor to major corrections (including resubmission) - and some encouraging words to go with it.
Bottom of page: Dealing with corrections and revisions: http://www.reading.ac.uk/internal/studyadvice/postgraduates/sta-vivas.aspx#corrections
On an off, this advice would be useful to students from any university.

Hi Pineapple!!
Well, since you know that we both experience the same problem, I do face the same scenario... but do not worry too much about that. What I was told by my examiners was that the bits I am not going to use I should publish them later as journal papers... Could you do something similar? BTW, I have to delete about 15.000 words from mine and re-write them (though I have not received the examiners' report yet).
I think that if I had not started the PhD, if I had never gone to university even, I would be a proper housewife... That would have been my main role in society: mother and wife and housewife. Cleaning, cooking, patisserie, gardening, vacuuming, bearing children, raising children.
I think I am glad I went to uni...
Psychologists believe that the third Monday after the new year begins (i.e. today, note that this day is called 'Blue Monday' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_%28date%29) is traditionally the most depressing day of the year.
So, how's life treating you today?
I am feeling OK today btw, but this is because I keep myself busy.
