I’m on the second year of an PGdip,
I’ve found all the assessments incredibly hard. I have discovered I have a learning disability! I can not write and find it almost impossible to structure my writing.
Still, I’ve passed (just) my assignments. This semester I’ve got three to do. One is awaiting marking. One is marked and this links to the one I’m doing.
I’ve got from Tuesday to Sunday to complete it to be handed in on the following Monday. Ive takes that time off work. I’ve done lots of reading and got copious notes. I’ve started structuring it.
I’ve just realized I can’t do it. I just can’t synthesize the readings and link to reality ( with refs) and decide what should go in appendix and what should go in refs and do the appendix and refs. and I just can’t do it.
I thought I’d be able to knock something out but I can’t. I’m laying on the bed in the dark crying. dH will do the dinner. I’ve got a headache.
The house is falling to pieces, my DC has health issues, I’ve got health issues, and I can’t cope. I’ve been like this throughout the course but I manage to pull something together. I just can’t do it anymore. I just can’t produce a other assignment where I get feedback on how fudging thick I am.
This has started as I got beastly feedback from the linked assignment-I passed but some of it was cutting. The markers are supposed to word their feedback gently fior people with LD.
I just want to cry in the dark!
I’m sure I’ll pull myself together for Tuesday but I am completely overwhelmed and wish I’d not left it so late. I thought a week would be enough to finish. I’ve had other assignments to do and work and Christmas and covid. I’ve done work on this one but I can’t put it together- there is so much information.
