S.T.,

Good thinking! Sometimes assignment deadlines and necessary absences can be negotiated/excused when your profs know about any health issues that you are facing...including mental health.

Do you have a student counselor/advisor yet? If not, you should be able to request one through Administrations. This step should be priority number 1, as he/ she will be able to advocate for you.

Also check your Student Center (or equivalent @ your particular school) and make sure to take advantage of any resources for mental health, including group meetings or referral material.

Best to you in finding the help that you need!
