I have a plan with the counseling office in multiple ways. (I'm in high school)

With the dean, I have the legal right to have accommodations,
I have contracts and things with the district. I'm legally assigned to the school psychologist, I'm on district record.

However:

None of these contracts were ever followed or kept up with. I have talked to the school councilor but nothing really has come from it. I don't want to go back and deal with all the contracts again, and getting an IEP, or a 504 this late in my high school career would be embarrassing--I need to cope with that.

The teacher I have right now is advocating for me through the counseling office to get me the accommodations I need because they are horrible about doing it themselves. She edited a college essay that mentioned bipolar in it

What do I tell her, or how to ask for her help? In honesty I'm struggling in school and unable to function, but I don't know how to go about explaining or asking for help with that. I trust her, more then the school counselors and I HATE the school psychologist.

My question remains, What do I tell her?

I feel like I need to elaborate on what bipolar means, and so on. She already knows some things about medication and how foggy things get...

I guess maybe, I'm just hoping she'll understand... even if I do end up failing.

Love always,
