Can a PhD student ask for a little pastoral support...?

I'm writing up. I have to hand in before Christmas. I hate my supervisor's living guts. I have the words on paper, but none of them seem any good any more. I'm living away from my institution (a flight) so I can't go back for help. What would you do? DH is desperate for me to finish and is (unwittingly) piling on the pressure. I know the finished product won't be perfect, doesn't have to be perfect... But I can't seem to move forward. What would you do?

If I get revise and resubmit I don't think I will (resubmit, that is) - so I need to hand in something that passes.

God, PhDs are ridiculous.

Oh I can relate to alot of this taking criticism stuff, and still feeling bruised with my current resubmission situation.

Have you reached a conclusion Damn? FWIW I'd say stick with the same internal, the fact that they know your work, and you've adapted it based on their comments would both go in your favour I'd have thought. Have you a viva date yet?
