Ugh, sorry to hear about it, that totally sucks. :-( IMO/IME...this is a good one to put to your master's degree department. Circumstances material to your achieving the degree as it existed before your health downturn last fall have changed. So this is partly something they should help you navigate. Mental health issues like those you are experiencing are notorious for casting our problems, over and over, as issues only we can solve, alone. Typically though, not only do others want to help, but departments and administrations usually have a great deal of experience in sculpting new solutions out of what appears to be thin air. For this exact type of situation. Which is to say--they have probably been down this road before and have tools which could immediately make your life better. It may take some searching and probing to find out the best people to work with on this (sometimes it's a department secretary who pushes things into motion, you never know). But this activity will be, by definition, returning executive control to your side (same with posting here btw, nicely done). So, I would ride them, as if they are party to your resolving the current health situation, to the degree you can. Don't take such risks with your own psychology alone. Take the risks with the school, and use the waiting time to construct boundaries around your personal recovery. Just some thoughts though, I'm sure there are lots of ways to attack the problem & you got this. Good on you for reaching out.
