FYI, rainbowbrite,
You do not have babblemail turned on for yourself, either. If you did, your screen name would show up as a link and would be clickable.Also, I forget, but do you have a T on campus? Can you get one if not? One of the things I do with my clients who are stuggling with exactly what you are describing is help them break down their tasks, see what they need to do, and contact their professors to see what accomodations can be made. Sometimes I will will write a short letter asking for an accomodation for the client, and it does help. It may result in an extended deadline or an incomplete. Anything that gives the student some breathing room. And it usually does not require that I disclose what I am seeing the client for.
Have you thought about that? Also, mental illness is also condidered a disability under the ADA. You can register with your school's disability office, and they can also direct you to any and all resources which may help you get through. Their mission is to help students get through school. So don't be shy or proud about it. Take what's there for help if you need it. And it's never too late.
Hang in there. You CAN do this.
