I feel embarrassed about my mental health?!


Question: I feel embarrassed about my mental health?
I have been up and down lately and the doctor gave me some medication which was way to strong
I took a pill at 11 am and passed out till 4 took another at 8 and fell asleep again
this has caused me to fall back in school

Im in college btw

How should I tell my teachers
I tried talking to him yesterday but froze and told I was sick and he said that wasn't a good enough excuse

How should I tell him whats going on
I want to email him

Answers:

go to your guidance office with a letter from your doctor- all schools have disability offices. With a letter from your doctor explaining your disability and what needs to be done to help you you can get all the help you need and the guidance office will tell the teacher. I went to college graduated i got someone to take notes for me - I taped the professors class - I got to take the test at another time and they doubled the time for me to take it - Accommodations are made if you ask for them- so if you are having a problem ask for help Will you be embarrassed with a cold why be embarrassed with a mental illness according to the health system they are both a medical condition



write him a note
cut the pills into quarters and take 1 daily for a while

find out what they are look up the name on the net, probably an antidepressant



I think it would be better to be brave and tell him face to face whats going on.... if u send him an email he might not believe u and he might ask for proof from a doctor or something
