I'm so sorry. That's super-heavy, feeling like you make life hard for other people. It may not be the easiest condition for others to understand, but that doesn't mean that you are a burden, or that people should treat you (or feel entitled to treat you) like a burden
That's not fair on you! Like you say, you've fought insanely hard to keep living, and you're clearly trying to reach out for some help. So you're doing bits to help yourself, where and when you can.
There's no shame in that whatsoever - take it from someone older (albeit not necessarily wiser) who's been a three different unis and seen the best and worst of uni mental health support (or in some cases, "support" in inverted commas!)

~60% is already 2:1 level at most unis, especially in first year. Many people start there and improve a lot once they learn what markers want.

The bigger issue is your mental health getting worse — that needs prioritising over squeezing extra marks out right now.
1.
Email your personal tutor/module lead and ask for a quick meeting: “I’m stuck around 60% — can you show me what I need to do to hit higher marks?”
2.
Escalate support: tell wellbeing/disability support clearly that what’s in place isn’t enough and ask about reasonable adjustments/DSA, extensions, and mitigation.
3.
If you feel unsafe or close to crisis, get urgent help (NHS 111)
