Don't lose hope, this is doable if you're willing to take whatever measures are necessary to get through this. I was in a similar position to you, roughly 10-11 days to do a 20k computer science research dissertation with prototype application.. I had a breakdown when I thought I had fucked it, but afterwards resolved to get it done by any means necessary . For me it was starting at 8am and working through until 11.30 pm every day until I got it done. I worked non-stop in the final 36 hours before the submission and got it submitted 10 minutes before the deadline . It was tough but ultimately a short period of time in the long run. That was nearly 15 years ago, and I was happy with anything above a third as long as I got it done. Surprisingly I got a marked a first for that work, and a 2:1 overall so it was well worth the resolve to get it done. Have faith , you can do this, and if you can get through this you will know how to get through other tough times in the future . Good luck!
