I checked into this option when I had a rough time a few semesters ago, however it was too late for them to help me with a particular class as I had already essentially "dug my grave." They were very helpful and advised me to come in and fill out papers to assist me for the future. I didn't because I'm lazy and figured I'd be able to wiggle my way out of any situation I get myself into, as I usually do...Besides, I personally would rather my profs not know anything about me other than what I show them in the class setting. (And sometimes I'd rather them not know all of that either :))
My therapist did help me out in that situation and I was able to recieve an A!!! YAHOO for Karen (and Bubba I suppose :))
Now, I think you should make an appointment to go in and talk with the rep from the office. Find out what you need to bring in, which shouldn't be more than a note saying that you are dx with (x and y or whatever pertains to the situation).
I don't think it's necessary to overdisclose and list any dx that doesn't necessarily pertain to the situation (as in borderline traits, ect...).
It would be helpful to have that on record in case this situation happens again in the future. I think the best thing you could do at this point is to talk with your profs and tell them the situation. Let them know what's going on as well. Really, they do appreciate it. And they are understanding of your feelings and situation as well. Usually, they grant you as much time as you need to complete the work. That's what happened in my case. Usually they need documentation. Can you get that from your Pdoc or therapist? But, I'm sure you'll feel ALOT!!! better when this load is off your shoulders and you don't feel so much pressure...I'm thinking about you hun...Things will work out. Talk to your profs. They care, they really do. They just don't know what's going on unless you tell them.
