I have a pretty serious eating disorder, should ask for leeway with assignments?

i have an eating disorder called “arfid” and it’s my first semester of college (full-time student). i feel like i’m giving excuses for special treatment, but the stress is genuinely starting to concern me. if i slack on healing my eating disorder, i starve. if i starve, i don’t have the brain power to concentrate or sometimes even stay awake. on the flip side, if i slack on college work, i stress out and avoid eating (arfid behavior).

what should i do? am i just complaining?
