I'm struggling with an online course that work needs me to do

I work in care and the organisation I work for wants me to study a module. I am studying that now. I enjoyed it to date.

I was given assignments to do from approx the 22nd of June and I have 8 weeks.

I can't believe how fast the time has gone.

I struggled for the past few weeks with researching and finding stuff for the case study.

I did some studying and I did a rough bullet point piece to create larger paragraphs from them.

Buts that's only one question.

I have a few different assignments to do.

I am struggling so so so so much.

It's just my time is being pulled from every direction. I worked all of last week and then Saturday came and I was still working and I had to stay over night and I was hardly allowed sleep. I got a three day migraine from that. I was still somewhat functional and I still had to work.

Now I will likely have to stay late tonight and work again tomorrow morning.

I am getting so tired so easily and just quiet simply do not have the head space to throw myself at this. I have limited time. I have other struggles too in that I have family home from abroad and my time is pulled from every direction.

Work then has me booked to be live in for 2 weeks from next week. I will be lucky if I would be allowed sleep. Never mind time to put pen to paper.

I was planning on packing a backpack of supplies and going to sit down in a hub in a hotel that was designed for workers. I am just so tired so easily. Everyone wants a peice of me.

Is there a reason you don't want to ask your manager for the 5 hours a week?

It's not that. It's bad timing.

The first part of the course was the reading throught the course material and that was a breeze and a walk in the park.

The summers schedule was set for months in work. And it's all now far too much in conjunction with hosting family from abroad.

My work is scheduling an hour or two relief worker most days mid week however I still have physical work to do on the floor too and it's just so hard.

My work has also allowed me a space in work.

If I was to ask for 5 hours off they would likely just point to all of the time that I do have off even though a lot of time it's not very succificuent (spelling?).

I did get a lot done yesterday and I had stamina to keep going last night and get another block of work done again this morning but then I am hosting family they were getting drunk last night while their child came into me and wanted my time and tablet and stuff and then wanted more of me this morning.

I am now faced with a situation where if it's not family it's work and there so very little time.

Anyone have experience of assignments.

Can anyone help me please.

Do I write the whole case study paragraph into an introduction or do I just summarise the main points of it?

I've not seen the assignment or guidelines but I would just summarise main points if relevant. The introduction should act as a signpost to what you're going to cover in the assignment.

Interested in this thread?

Thank you. Yes I figured this out yesterday on my own but thank you. If I wrote the case study it would only add to the word count.

I wonder if I should be going to my GP for more or different migraine meds. Perhaps even anxiety meds too.

It's all too overwhelming.

I used to experience migraines one every 3 months approx. Now it's never ending. 2 or 3 times a week and it's all stress.
