Hi all. I'm in some sort of dilemma. For the last 3yrs I've been in a wrong relationship (if i go into details this post will be too long). This has effected my work and i ended up depressed and with a 2:ii. My personal tutor for my BSc knew about some of my issues and wasn't very supportive so i ended up avoiding him for the rest of my bachelors.
My old tutor asked me what i want to do after my MSc and when i replied maybe a phd he was obviously taken back and although he didn't say ''you shouldn't'' he couldn't control his reaction and actually shook his head!
My marriage issues are still present, but i have started counseling and am trying to figure a way out. But my partner doesnt want to end the relationship and i depend on him financially. All this is adding pressure and the guilt sometimes gets too much.
This year for my MSc I've got a nice supervisor leading my project. My issues are personal but because they sometimes boil over into my work I'd like to find a way of letting him know so that hes aware of why i sometimes disappear.
Does this make sense? I know that he isn't my friend or a trained counselor so should I keep quiet and not tell him? Or would him knowing about my problems help him help me?
Any tips?

Hi there Mythu,
Im almost certain that international students have to be self-sponsored, perhaps you can find either a phd or a sponsor in India?
India is rapidly growing in the bioinformatics field so perhaps there will be some opportunities for you.
Hope you make some progress.

Augustie

ps i dont think this forum is meant to find you a phd, thats what the database search section is for. But good luck in your pursuit anyways!
