> One thing you could investigate is whether or not your school has a disability office. Mine does. They send out to the professor a very discreet notice about how you may need extra time to do work, or whatever you think might help you to get through.
>Excellent idea! Any note to a prof. does not need to say much, IMO. Last year I had to back out of a paid committment when my depression was at its worst. I asked the grad. office if they could pro-rate my pay based on the time I had put in. They required a note from my doc., which just said "I've advised _____ to decrease her activity." The grad. office ended up giving me all the pay, even though I only worked half the semester!!! More than I even asked for. No questions asked.
Hopefully, your school has a similar attitude. I agree, Elle, that the psych. prof. should be understanding, but think about giving the others a chance, too.
Take care,
