I should feel proud and excited and even ecstatic to have submitted my PhD, but I just feel numb and directionless. For almost 5 years it's been this constant thing, and now it's just... nothing.
@prismatic7 that's the commonest feeling in this situation. Myself and some friends I've talked to have experienced exactly the same thing when submitting our theses.
