Hello,

So I 20 and I've been dealing with BPD for a while now. I'm currently starting therapy with a new psychologist. 

Recently I've also been told that I should seek an evaluation for ADHD as some of the symptoms that I display in my every day life look like symptoms of ADHD (waiting for the evaluation).

It is something I know from the very start of my mental health battle journey that my doctor is willing to fill a form to my university so I can abandon my semester whiteout failing if anything gets out of control. I never asked for it because I tend to just push and suffer when it comes to school. 

Recently life has been very hard, I realized that I've been out of it for the most part of my semester. School work is almost impossible to do and I feel like I'm ruining my life trying to make everything work out. I don't think I can possibly do my finals in the state I am in, and if I do, it's going to affect my GPA so bad.

I'm planning on talking to my doctor about that form, so I can focus on myself for a change. The only issue is that my parents value school a lot. I've experienced issues with them and their understanding of my diagnosis. Because the symptoms aren't physical, they do not see the point of me dropping the semester.they also pay for my school and I'm afraid I might lose that monetary help if they see I dropped. 

How do I approach this with them? How do I tell them that in the condition that I am in, finishing this semester would do me more harm than good? I don't want them to judge me or make me feel guilty for choosing myself. I have never done this ever.
