I'm sorry to hear you are encountering problems. I think it is very common for the 'in-between' stage of trying to establish just what your threshold is.
If you haven't already, get a doctor's note and visit your university's accommodations office. They help provide work arounds for students with established "disabilities". This includes longer test taking time, note takers, etc. to help you with your condition.
It may be that you can also work with your teachers a different schedule of assignments (a bit extended) given your condition. I would hope most professors will try to work with you as you heal.
Best of luck!
