Oh wow, thanks for telling me about the disabilities office. I always just assumed it was for student with physical disabilities, because professors never mention mental health (which is funny because I'm in school for mental health counseling...). I will look into that and see what they can do. I guess I just feel bad going there. I always feel like I'm being dramatic or making a big deal out of everything, so I try to tough it out, and that sometimes makes things worse. ^___^;;

You are welcome. I hope it is useful information.
I know what you mean about trying to tough it out. I used to think since it is my head, I should be able to fix it on my own or at the very least not real and would ignore it as much as I could.
That line of thought can be unproductive if not downright destructive. The term before I asked for more time I didn't complete because I got so stressed and twisted up I crashed and burned. At least that was spring term so I also had the summer to recover and get ready for fall. I actually had to drop out mid-term twice, both times as an undergrad.
Once I got registered in the ADA office I never had that problem again and finished up my BS degree and went straight into the MS program and finished the coursework without having to take breaks during a term or miss one. My mental issues never again affected my grades.
Good luck with your program.
