ELA,
I'm sorry you're feeling down again.
I think what you have said above is the best thing to say to your doctor. If you don't think you can say it, print it out and give it to him/her. Your doctor needs to know.
Does your university offer medical leaves? I know it is not at all uncommon here in the states and our colleges usually are very good about it. University is a stressful time for everyone, even without the health concerns you have had. Intense psychotherapy and experimenting with meds while you wait out a semester or two would help you to concentrate on getting better. Then you could make a decision about where to go from there. And your parents will be able to see that you are giving the matter careful consideration. The important thing right now is concentrating on getting well.
