Snoozy -- don't know if my observation will be any comfort, but taking 5 years + to complete a "3 year PhD" doesn't sound so bad. I don't know your specifics, but most PhDs (especially in the social sciences and humanities) typically take considerably more than 3 years.
I took 6 years to get my PhD from the time I completed coursework. I was unhappy about that, BUT most people NEVER finish, and 6 years was still better than average! That's because most have to work fulltime while trying to work on the PhD. So, unless yours should be brief for particular reasons, don't the 5 years get you down.
Best wishes,
