I was my mum's second daughter of three children, and my dad's seventh daughter of eight children.

My dad put so much pressure on me as his "last hope" for a successful kid and pushed me to "Not be like the others" that I over-achieved in school and outside of school, was pretty sheltered - video games and books were my only refuge.

I started my first semester of university in the same month that my parents separated, my dad had a breakdown and tried to kill himself and I ended up, four years later, graduating with a first class honours degree as well as a bunch of awards for extra-curricular shit.

I was good at pretty much everything at school, which means (first world problem) I had no focused idea on what I should be when I grew up - as it happens, I'm in my final year of my doctoral degree in science and I realised I much prefer the written subjects (history, languages etc) and I absolutely hate what I'm doing but I'm trapped in it.

I've been pushing away the depression that's been threatening me since my parents' divorce, and I've suffered from anxiety which I'm beginning to overcome.

Bonus sentence: I struggle to form stable relationships.
