Get over (with) it VS. Get over it

I need to get my homework over with.
-> I need to get over with my homework.

Do you think we can say the first and the second for the same meaning?

I need to get my homework over (with).
-> I need to get over my homework.

Is the second also possible? Then do we have to distinguish between 'get over something' and 'get over (with) something' sometimes in context, right? Thank you so much as always.

I need to get my homework over [with]. (I need [for] it to be finished.)
This works.
It's more natural when the "with" is included.
Without the "with," it's similar to "I need [for] this to be over."

I need to get over with my homework.
This is possible, and would be understood, but it's not natural in my opinion.

I need to get over my homework.

"I need for this to be over. / I need for it to be finished."

Thank you so much, but these two sentences are okay to you? I was wondering now.
