Hi guys,
Thanks to depression, procrastination and suicidal thoughts, I have the situation as in the title. I want to literally kill myself, but I will try to write this. I think I just need 40 or 45 to have 2.1. overall grade. But I still find it hard af. On positive notes, I have that margin set by my uni (-+10%) so 7200 words is fine as well.
But the question is: Is it possible? I think I just need words of support because I am already going crazy. What would happen if I would hand 6000 words for example? Would I automatically fail?
Deadline is on Wednesday 12PM.
Thanks and wish me luck

I don't know if it's possible to do it in 2.5 days but my brother did the remaining half of his dissertation (70 pages long in total but quite a few pages were of diagrams, could've been anywhere from 7,000-11,000 words) on the day before it was due. He was in the library from 9am to 7am the next day though.
I'm only in first year at uni so I haven't experienced writing that many words yet so I can't really give you much of what I think about it

Wishing you serious luck. I do this with all my coursework too, and trust me it's possible, though it's chaotic and terrible. Good luck, and I'm sorry about your mental health, that's horrible, but I believe you can do this 100%.

If not, what’s your university’s policy on handing in assignments late. For example, if it’s 5% per day, it may be worth handing in a day late if it’s not physically possible to complete in the time you have left.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely that it turns out good? No. It takes a serious amount of research, and you have to reference a ton which can take up hours on its own

8000 words in 2 days is doable from a writing perspective although i do think the lack of time for reviewing will lead to poorer quality submission.
The research that goes into 8000 words cannot be done to a dissertation standard… that said if all you want to do is scrape a pass.. its been done.

Check your university policy. Is there any chance of getting an extension given your extenuating circumstances?
If not, what’s your university’s policy on handing in assignments late. For example, if it’s 5% per day, it may be worth handing in a day late if it’s not physically possible to complete in the time you have left.

To scrape a pass, yes. But this is catastrophically poor planning even with your mental health issues.
Have you spoken to student support etc about your problems? They cannot help if they do not know.
