I studied in South Africa, and the amount of support I got from mentors, tutors or the government; none.

I am now doing a PhD in Scotland, and I am still wondering if I should warn them that I am a bit odd. I told my lecturer in South Africa before a long fieldtrip including days of interviews in really dangerous impoverished areas, and he pretty much said, huh?

It's not so much social anxiety anymore, is an incredible feeling of ****! pent up inside of me, a lack of confidence, and of course, the golden ball; anxiety and depression.
