OK so normally I am up at 5 on my study days (which is pretty much every day off I get) study for an hour or so, then go out for a run then back, bath, breakfast and hit the books again.
This works well for me and I have t say I do enjoy it, being up at 5 is wonderful and it also means I can knock off at 16:00 without feeling guilty.
However, this morning, I woke up at 6:30 trundled to the bathroom, sat on the couch (afterwards...we do not have a couch in the bathroom) and just monged, then I went back to bed and didn't get up ill 10 at which point I promptly burst into tears and had a minor spaz out.
I am seriously beginnig to think I actually need a holiday, and I mean a real holiday where I go away and chillax like a cucumber on prozac. This year of study has been majorly taxing, I was doing great until just after June when the module I was doing took more time than I realised because it was rather badly organised and the coordinator was lax in his responses (actually got diagnosed by the doctor with stress because of it...) now I am doing another of his modules (last one from him thank god!) and I must admit he is getting to me.
I am doing the work, have done 1 assignment and am seemingly OK and on the right path with the next but there is no way of knowing, I have emailed him and put messages on the module support area on the website and he is 'simply far too busy with external matters to asnwer them'. The thought that I may be doing it all completely wrong, even though I think I am OK was enough to have that effect on me this morning and I am concerned about it tbh.
B2 said to take the morning off, which is quite sound advice, but now I am thinking 'Aaargh all that missed study time!!' I don't usually succumb to pressure this way and it is upsetting, I just needed to talk about it, don't expect anyone to be able to magic it away (I mean I eat well, exercise plenty, don't pull all night or stupidly long study sessions, i'm just a bit overwhelmed by this tutors sheer unhelpfulness).
It's a real bummer tbh.
