pitted my career at Oxford was just \u003ci\u003eone \u003c\/i\u003eoutcome of the seemingly implacable conflict of those two facets of who and how I am: my views and wishes, and my inborn nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eRoughly half-way through my time at Oxford I suffered acutely of paranoia and delusions, which were then, thankfully, caught, diagnosed and nipped in

class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eMy time at Oxford was overshadowed, and has, expectedly, overshadowed my pursuant adult life.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e
