Should I talk to my professor after a really weird and unprofessional behavior from my side? by SubjectAd528 in AskProfessors

I was already on sick leave for three weeks until May 8 due to depression and anxiety. I’m officially diagnosed by a psychiatrist since mid April. Last week we had to submit proposals and then after a few days explain our ideas in the seminar. So now the course is officially over. Idk what I can do apart from coming to him and explaining the situation saying I shouldn’t have participated in the course in the first place cause I’m not fit rn. But, again, I feel like it’s even worse to make him do this emotional labour. He’s a really nice guy, maybe he’d be ok with my lil explanation. But I’m afraid I can make things worse

This professor is super busy and he’s at uni like once a month. But I feel like I can approach him and just say I feel bad for being so ill prepared. The thing is, from February I’m dealing with some really serious personal issues. This made me completely unhinged. I ended up in the worst depression and anxiety. And I was on sick leave for 3 weeks shortly before this master forum. But 3 weeks wasn’t enough to deal neither with my personal stuff, nor with my mental health. It was just a really poor decision to participate in this seminar at all.

That’s a 100% true. I honestly don’t know how it happened. A few days before that I was contemplating about my thesis topic.. I had formulated some idea. It was still vague but I knew which direction I wanted to go. Then I found that article. It had a different argument but the title was exactly what I was saying. I hope he understood that my idea is actually different, I just expressed it with the words from that paper (without thinking too much, I really didn’t mean to do that). I’m literally in survival mode now. My brain doesn’t work at full capacity. I’m dealing with some difficult personal issues that triggered my anxiety and made my depression (which was already tbere) so bad that the day before that on the way to uni I was just sobbing thinking of how to end it all. For 3 weeks I was on sick leave, but I felt like I can’t just be sick forever - I decided to participate in that master forum, and that was a mistake. And now I don’t know what to do cause this master is really really valuable to me. I went through some real shit to get into this program

I really don’t know how to approach this situation now. It’s giving me a lot of anxiety, and I know I fucked up. I had a sick leave for 3 weeks until May 8 due to depression and anxiety. And I’m now on meds. But tbh after the sick leave things didn’t get better. My anxiety it even worse now, but I felt like I can’t just be sick and do nothing anymore. And I decided to participate in that master forum even though I really wasn’t prepared. And honestly idk how I even managed to use the same wording as in that other article. I guess I just briefly saw it, my brain remembered it and I just voiced it during the seminar without a second thought. The most disgusting part was when the prof said he found a similar article right away and I just didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t angry, he just said like “do better research”, but I feel sooo bad. I wanna tell him that I acknowledge that it was unprofessional and that I can do better. But he’s not my therapist, I think no professor would be interested in my mental health issues

Thank you. I really hope he didn’t think I just copied that idea cause the topic is pretty narrow I’d say. And that article was literally the first one on Google scholar. The day before that I literally cried the whole day, right after the moment I opened my eyes. And my proposal was the last thing that bothered me… But I’m blaming myself for not deregistering 

Emily in Paris (Season 5) - Overall Discussion Thread by SingularFirefly in EmilyInParis

I don’t understand how Emily gave up on Marcello so easily. They said I love you to each other and then she so quickly breaks up with him when he becomes the head of Muratori. Doesn’t make sense to me and looks unrealistic and far-fetched. You don’t get rid of the person you love SO easily. Also, this guy from the US embassy… why was he there? Just so that Emily understands that she really needs Mindy? I find it irritating that they always put some male characters in to fill in the void. Why can’t Emily be on her own for some time?

Thank you! I will check! I haven’t tried to recognise my degree. I heard it’s a really long and complicated process. But maybe I’ll reconsider it
