I can't write my Masters dissertation and it's due in 2 weeks, in despair over it

It's due in 2 weeks from Monday, I just can't do it.

I feel as though I know what I want to say, but can't get it down on paper. I have awful brain fog and tiredness from juggling a health condition that they know about, but don't think now that a week's extension would make any difference at all. They don't give more than 1 week.

What should I do? I'm confused because I think if I asked to defer, I couldn't just effectively become a part timer and submit next year in September 2020. I think I'd have to formally take the whole year out, then come back?

I don't know though. I'm torn between psyching myself up to push for deferring or just writing something as best I can and hoping it passes.

But don't think it will pass Sad and my whole Masters will be dragged down by a scraped pass even if it did.

I just don't know what to do, I'm so tired and stressed, just want to sleep and feel well.

Wow well done seaside, you must be so pleased!

I finally sent mine to the printers this morning... what a relief. Can't wait to hand it in and be done with it!

OP, how did you get on in the end?

Just to update- as this was such an encouraging thread- I got my mark back last week and got 75! That’s a distinction! Thank you all for your top tips! Hope you are all getting on ok?
