Hello @
bpcyclist ,
They are aware of my other chronic illness, but the problem is that at the time that everything played up (esp depression), I stopped keeping in touch with the board of examinors, counsellor (apart from my own psychologist which I did keep seeing ofc), etc. So, if I mention now that I didn't do that due to depression, that is too late. (They are generally very understanding, but you have to mention somewhat in time what is going on / that something is going on). On top of that, I had already received 3 extensions (long ones) for this project. So, I do not feel they are discriminating, really - although the unfortunate effect of depression can be dropping everything for a while, which I did, and that is, yeah, really unfortunate.
Thank you for your comment, it is also a good reminder not to do the things you mentioned, I will keep that in mind in and out of this situation.
