Struggling with School Anxiety

I had a lot of anxiety issues last school year and missed a TON of school bc i was too anxious to go in, having a 504 plan helped me a lot, I had accomodations like being allowed to leave class and go to the counseling center whenever i got too anxious, that helped me quite a bit

I think you may have an anxiety disorder called “school refusal”. TERRIBLE name but basically it’s debilitating anxiety caused by school. I recommend looking into getting an IEP or 504 and finding a therapist that specializes in this!

TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. I literally was anxious walking in the building, Calmed myself down a bit and then got anxious the entire day. I got my AirPods taken away by the principal and I have like no classes with my friends, also I have a class with my ex best friend and I don’t know how to feel. Literally cried in the bathroom 3rd period

Definitely anxiety. A family member struggled with this with work but she kept pushing herself and it got to the point that she couldn't get out of bed most days because she was just sobbing terrified of going. Not because anything traumatic had happened, but because she'd been experiencing chronic anxiety and had hit a breaking point. We encouraged her to quit, and she was on disability for a while, and then went back to school for another job. Also my husband was trying to do college, part time college and a part time job, and had depression and anxiety and trying to push himself just made it worse and worse until he was a shell of himself, it was terrifying. Finally we pulled him out of college and found a different solution, and it took a little while but we found something that really works for our family. So if it's getting this bad, you definitely need to do something. Pull back, take a couple weeks off, switch to home school for this year, find an anxiety medication if you don't already have one, whatever makes sense to you.
