The SU will usually be the ones well-versed in complaints and stuff. They will definitely ask you for a detailed timeline, so if you can write down times of emails, etc., whilst they're fresh in your mind then all the better Save everything relevant, just in case.
In terms of work, all the feedback was positive so that's good.
Been a tough few weeks and just when things start to look up I feel like I get knocked back down again and I'm starting to feel like I don't have the energy left to keep fighting all of this.
Give yourself a tea and biscuit break.
Hope you either do something amazing with your day off.
Or do something thoroughly satisfying. Like spend the whole thing reading a trashy book/one you've always wanted to. Or watching daytime TV. Or sleeping.
My plan now is to: have a shower, continue reading a book I started at the weekend (this was before I was aware of the support document/essay issue!), go shopping for some final holiday bits, pack (or at least sort what I want to take!), eat(!) and generally do nothing productive in terms of uni!
I was also very self-restrained this morning by turning off my 5am alarm and texting my manager to say I wouldn't work today and was taking the day off as lieu time to have a rest
Also, when I feel like this I remember a time when I was at college and I became so exhausted I couldnt function. I remember being sent home from work and to stop me trying to do more college work, my Dad took me and my Mum for a drive so I would sleep in the car...I slept literally for the rest of the weekend after we got home. He didnt lecture me or make me feel stupid. He just did what was best for me then. I wish he was here now.
Do you know how mature that post is? How self aware you obviously are? How much you've learnt.
What are your plans for your holiday? Can you do for yourself what your dad did for you in the past? Go on your holiday and have a proper break. No revising for at least the first 2 whole days. That's two WHOLE days after you get there. Give yourself some relaxing time, and rest time.

Its just a week in a Haven. I have no idea where it is or what we are doing but will be good to have a change of scenery
I will try to do what he did. I think yesterday I proved to myself I could actually say no and my office didnt fall apart without me. I think 2 whole days is reasonable. My plan was to take it but only to do any if we had some rainy/lazy days not doing anything. Otherwise it was going to be a bit of bedtime reading...at least that way it would help me sleep
Stay strong

Are you still on your holiday? Where have you gone?
You said you don't want to go back to work because your worried about seeing them again but they may not think about what you were like before you went on holiday and they may ask you all about your holiday and will be intrigued to see if they have any photos

The thing is...they thought a break was what I needed...but I still feel like I did before I went away...if not worse because ive had time to think and i have done no work for the exam I have in just over a week...
