Hello,
I have noticed that this forum mostly focuses on essay reviewing/peer editing and research advice/help. I would like to know if I would be allowed to post a thread asking for advice on how to create a realistic/functional writing schedule for completing the writing portion of my undergraduate thesis paper? I am having a very difficult time completing the writing portion of my paper due to extenuating circumstances relating to psychiatric issues which are causing cognitive deficits. I am not able to mitigate the symptoms of my psychiatric condition at this time because I am awaiting an appointment with a qualified professional and there are financial issues that are exasperating my ability to acquire the proper (medication) treatment that I need for my diagnosis. I am stuck in a situation where I need to complete this paper in due time while dealing with symptoms because if I do not complete the paper then I will not graduate with my degree which I have worked almost six years to get through. I care too much about my education to give up on it now but I am in between a rock and a hard place...
When I am in a healthy state of mind I do not struggle with formulating a plan/routine for completing assignments but because I am in a different state of mind I am finding it harder to make sound and realistic decisions (I am indecisive, anxious, easily distracted by external/internal stimuli, confused, manic, etc). As it is I will have to wait for just over a month to actually see a psychiatrist in person and I need to finish the essay before then. I realize this is probably an unusual request but I would love if I can get some sound advice on how to work out a writing schedule so that I can complete the writing portion of my paper because at this time I am having a difficult time making decisions that are realistic. Would I be allowed to post a thread seeking this kind of advice? If so, where would be the best place to post it and would I have to edit someone's essay before I can expect a reply? I am aware that I will have to review someone's essay before I post one of own essays for review but I am not sure if I would need to review someone's essay if I am just asking for advice on a writing plan.
I am also hoping to actually (eventually) post the essay on this forum in hopes that someone can review the paper. If I am granted permission to post a thread seeking advice on a writing schedule, should I post the essay within the same thread or should I start a new post since the original thread would be focused on getting time management related advice?
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Kameela Amer
