MyPTSD Pro
I have three degrees but am working on a copyediting certificate (remind me not to do this again). The final is a twenty-page, edited manuscript which we've been working on throughout the term. I've been editing for years, so this was just an chance to brush up on the newer stuff, and be able to show training in this field.
The instructor in this course is impossible. She has had to change my grade twice because her comments on and corrections to my work were completely wrong. Now, as I'm trying to finish up the final manuscript--due tomorrow--I am struggling over edits she made that, again, are wrong, and questions I've asked her via email that she won't answer. She has developed a condescending tone in all of her answers, and now I'm stuck with...well, a mess.
I'm not the only one having issues with her and her edits/explanations. I've talked to a few others, and they are noticing the same thing. She posts publicly sometimes in response to questions, and she's often wrong there, too. People point it out, but she just blows them off.
I'm probably having more issues dealing with this than others; I've been in tears all morning (after, sadly, a blessedly good night's sleep). I am ANGRY. I just want to chuck the whole damn thing. I won't, because this is the last assignment. I mean, we still have a week, but our grade depends on this last thing.
I don't know how to manage the anger and frustration. In my head, I see myself throwing dishes against the wall and breaking everything I have in the house. I can't stop crying. I want to scream and cut.
