Hey wildcard,
I don't frequent this board, so a month has passed since you wrote. Have you posted on any of the other boards and received any responses?
Kudos to you for going for your phd. I was too shy to continue, myself, after my masters. I wish I had. When I was doing my masters, and afterwards, I was diagnosed with Social Phobia. I realized that my social phobias and anxieties really held me back in life (and still do). If this rings a bell for you, check it out--it can be very treatable. Please don't let it (if indeed this is what you 'have') hold you back from goals. Plenty of people here have varying degrees of social phobias and anxiety--or had them and worked them through.
good luck, and carry on! Feel free to ask me any questions if you like--I'll try and help!
