You could always try to stop by his office at another time.
Also, i would definitely start seeing a counselor on campus. My last school had a psychological disabilities office also, that was able to give me accommodations for my classes (I was given occasional extra absences (1-2) and allowed to turn in some assignments a little late (1-2 assignments).) My experience has been when the professor sees that you're working on this and up front about it, they're more willing to do everything they can and be more lenient with you.
Good luck! Take care! Let us know how it goes.

Thank you so so much. It truly means a lot when people I've never even met are willing to help in a way that even people I know won't.
And like I said, I get a very good vibe from my professor. He seems to be very kind-hearted and approachable, which makes it a bit easier to talk to him. But even with that said, I still feel really nervous bout even emailing him and giving a brief description of what I need to talk to him about. I'm not exactly sure how I should start the email or anything. Any ideas?
