Is there anyone in your masters program that you can ask for help until you get back on your feet. I&#x27;ve been in a similar situation in the past, and never asked my colleagues for help because I didn&#x27;t feel we were close enough. After the fact I found out that many of them were appalled that I hadn&#x27;t asked them for help, and would have gladly done it. This was in the southern U.S. though, and I&#x27;m not very familiar with German culture; The culture difference may or may not make this as feasible.
