Title basically, I just need help with the wording. In case you want more details: I was scheduled to graduate college about 2 years ago (not the US jsyk), I'd already finished all the experiments and stuff for my research and just needed to write a 30-40 page report, only I was pretty depressed and suicidal and shut myself in. Now I'll acknowledge I behaved lazily but it's true I was in a pretty dark place. I struggled with my mental health throughout my college years and kept it at bay, so it's not like it came out of nowhere. Anyways, I went to therapy but always played it down because I didn't want the therapist to get my family involved, so it's unlikely she can vouch for me. I did get better eventually with tons of support from family and friends but now I want to actually graduate I need to explain this committee at my faculty why I did so poorly and to please allow me to use 2 year old experiments to graduate. And that's the gist of it. Any help will be much appreciated.
