How do you mean 'cognitive flexability'? If your mental health issues are interfearing with your learning then have you thought about checking out the disabilities office (or equivalent)? We have a pretty good one and they are terrific with respect to helping out wherever possible. What you tell them is confidential and they only liase with your teachers with your approval and they are there for YOU. They can be very good advocates to make sure that your teachers show a little sympathy and understanding - which is what you deserve.You have made it thus far...
