i suffer from major depression and severe executive dysfunction, and it makes it really hard for me to wake up early (around 6) to get to school. im late a lot, but i dont know how to communicate with my teachers about my mental illnesses and ways to help me still get the info. im supposed to get antidepressants, but they won’t be in for a while. do you have any tips on how to approach teachers about mental illness?

Teaching in Real Life

Just talk to your teachers privately.  You don’t have to explain everything.  Tell them you want to be here, but that it’s hard, and would appreciate any support to stay caught up.  Be honest.  I am glad you are getting help!
