Anxiety should do one.

Visible to anyone in the world

I decided to submit my first tma early. After changing what I had wrote 20 million times (okay slight exaggeration) my ocd was starting to get crazy. So to try and deal with this, I decided to stop, and submit.

As soon as that button was pressed, I don't know whether there was a sudden tornado warning, a lion in my house, or if my body is just an idiot. But suddenly i was struck with un controllable panic. Now I've had my fair share of anxiety attacks. But i was trying to avoid one, by submitting early! Turns out that doesn't help surprise

But anyway, un necessary panic, worry etc etc seriously body, head whatever part decides to control me, go away!!!!!! I can worry enough for myself, without you jumping in too!!

Sometimes a TMA comprises lots of bits & bobs.  On occasion I've submitted early & asked my tutor just to check everything they're expecting has arrived.  Doesn't help with quality of course but at least you know it's got there.

Hi Kirsty If it's any consolation I have my own difficulties with mental illness, in fact depression and poor self efficacy are knocking me quite badly at the moment. Was good to meet you on Saturday. Let me know if I can be of help. smile
