Hi Maven, I'm sorry to hear how stressed out you are. I know you are worried about the class but your health is much more important than passing a class. I would send an email to your professor and explain exactly why you feel like you need to work on your own terms. Or another idea would be to talk to a school counselor, who in turn can contact your professor and explain your situation. I hope it works out for you. If it doesn't you tried your best and you move on to the next project. Don't stress
