maybe just knowing you have an extension on the paper would take the stress off of you. just because you have it doesnt mean you have to use it. your health and safety are more important. i was having a complete breakdown it felt like when i was in school...well i actually did...but it was midterms and two papers due all on a thrusday so i asked for an extension on the one paper. i got everything else done, took my tests and then completed the other paper and had it turned in by sunday even though i had a week to complete it. i just needed a bit of the stress taken off me to be successful and make it thru. good luck.
