I've decided to re-do the background reading but it's a struggle. It's taken me a couple of hours to re-read 3 pages and make notes. I'm hoping a bit more will sink in this time round but still panicking as I've not heard back from my tutor with the amended deadline, even though logically I know that he'll reply when he next checks his email and he's aware that I won't be submitting it tomorrow.

Why can't my head just give me one day of working properly?!?

And yes, I know! I'm ill, new meds, possibly need some outside the box thinking etc etc...

I can’t concentrate on any book when I’m bad. I can read the same page 3 times and still not have a clue what it said. Maybe you need to step away from it for a while and do something different. Maybe go sit in the garden for half an hour, or watch a bit of tv, or go for a little walk. Anything that gets you out of your room and away from the books and laptop. Then go back when your ready and hopefully you’ll be better able to process stuff.

I agree, sometimes walking away for 10 mins is the best thing...

I've had a break for tea but just really, really agitated now.

Then take a little more time. You’re not going to be able to do this when you’re feeling like this so maybe doing something completely different for half an hour could refocus your mind

I've admitted defeat. And I will admit that my head is in a right mess. I've just blurted a lot of it out to J. How that man hasn't got fed up of me already I have no idea!

[Angie]

Because he cares and understands hunni x

[Jaquaia]

I'm not convinced that I deserve it.
