Idk what to do (finals/stress/advice please?)

So basically, I have a final project due today (in like 2 hours) in my foundation drawing class.


But I'm like not even halfway done. I've been really stressed out recently, and it kind of feels


like all of my problems kind of blew up at once. 


 


I've kind of always struggled with depression and (of course) right when I have something major to 


do is when it acts up and I can barely get myself out of bed. On top of that, when I was younger I had this


neurological thing and a side effect is extreme fatigue. I had a big flare-up (idk what else to call it)


recently, to the point that I thought I was actually relapsing, which was highkey terrifying as I likely wouldn't recover again and thus would be wheelchair bound. I could barely move my right leg last weekend


and the fatigue thing + depression made me just sleep/laze around all the time instead of working on my project. 


 


My professor is kind of scary and idk if she'd be understanding if I were to email her about it, 


especially since it's super last minute and it's not like I have a doctor's note or whatever. I also don't


really know who I would ask for help from dealing with all of this, my mom always brushes it off


especially since I'm an "adult" now + I don't have insurance or money to potentially see a professional.


 


I'm not exactly sure how much of my grade the final makes up, but it can't be an


insignificant amount. I'm too... embarrassed/ashamed to force myself to go to the critique today


with my half-assed incomplete project even though I'm sure that would be better than not going at all.


I really don't want to fail this class, but I'm worried I've already messed it up too much.


 


Should I try emailing my professor anyways, and if so what should I say? I don't want


to sound like I'm making up excuses, and "I was sad and tired" kind of sounds meh anyways :(


+ any other advice would be appreciated as well, if anyone has any.

Definitely email your professor, it can't hurt. Just explain exactly what you said here and how overwhelmed youve been. Worst case scenario, she doesnt let you, and you fail. You would just have to take the course over again, its really no big deal ( plus itll be a lot easier the second time).

 

 

Also I dont have any chronic illness, but I have dealt with depression and anxiety before. If you need anyone to talk to you can always pm me. My advice is take things one step at a time, you can't take everything on at once. Sometimes even doing one thing a day is a step forward when dealing with depression.

Yes. Email your professor. You really can't predict how your professor will respond. Let them know you've been dealing with issues and would like an extension before grades are due. If it's not possible to finish in time for that deadline, maybe ask for an Incomplete, but you should research on that beforehand if you decide to go that route. Finish as much as you can after you've emailed the professor so if the professor doesn't allow an extension, you can at least turn in a more complete project.

Email your teacher. You'll never how she will react if you don't tell her. Hopefully she will be comprehensive

 

But I have to say that if I was a professor I would have appreciate that my student talk to me about this kind of "situation" sooner (it's probably sensitive to you to talk about this so I can understand. Depression is really complicated and horrible)

Can you tell me her response at your email when you'll send her ?!
