I really need some advice - I'm bricking it.

I am a research masters student and I started my p/t course last september. I had a deadline to submit some written work a few months ago. Not only did I not get that work in but I haven't even made any contact whatsoever with my supervisor. For some stupid reason I've been hiding - even stopped reading my emails. The last time I checked my email account was about 2 months ago.

F*ck.

Writing this here on the forum is the first step that I've made in admitting to myself what I've done.
Before, even the thought of visiting this forum for help had sent shivers down my spine.

Every day I keep making excuses to myself about why it isn't the right time or environment to get on with it. But most of the time I just try to put it to the back of mind and pretend it doesn't exist. It's easier to do this now that I have moved 120 miles away and concentrating on looking for a f/t job in the new area.

I really need to do something about it because I love my research topic, but I'm just so scared of f*cking it up that I've avoided doing it completely. What a prat.

What should I do? Please help. My confidence has gone to shambles.
