I have been caught in an extremely devastating situation. The story is too long to describe but the main point is that my supervisor has caused me a lot of problems although I have always worked extremely hard and have been, according to him, an excellent student. The problem is that because of this situation, I have severe panic attacks and depression (this is what the University nurse suggested and my psychologist diagnosed). I have also developed psychosomatic symptoms such as nose bleeding, breathing difficulty etc. I have lost my motivation and rarely go out of the house any more. I had never had any psychological issues before. This is all because of the two years I spent as a research student working extremely hard under stress and allowing myself to be bullied by my supervisor. What’s more my supervisor knew the psychological issues I have developed during the last two years of my studies but chose to ignore me. My psychologist told me to avoid any contact with my supervisor.
What can I do? Do you think just a complaint is enough? What about my personal injury?
