Actually plucked up the courage a few weeks ago to speak to a tutor,explaining my situation and found it very helpful. She let other tutors know so I could get extra help and also explain my lack of attendence. She also mentioned that I can get mitigating circumstance for essays and exams, she suggested I bring in a GP letter so this would be easy to do.
She also reffered me to university councelling service which I had my first session with today. With me they are unable to help as the sessions available will not last long enough to help me apparently, but the counsellor did recommend deffering a year of uni. I'm still thinking of this, because final year half way through and everything - but she said in many cases this helps alot an can help sort yourself out in the mean time.
Hope this helps you and feel free to message me any time if you just wanna talk about it (Know I'd appreciate it!)
