I'm sorry that you're parents aren't understanding you about this :( but if regular classes aren't making you feel better, doing your ed class is still how you're working things out. it's good to adjust yourself, it'll help you succeed with your education while you also can work on your mental health. that's awesome, it shows to me and should to others too, that you're trying to do the best you can. I struggled so much during my last 2 years of high school because I wasn't getting the help I needed, I barely graduated. The school had straight up told me that they had no "resources" to help me and that I was being a threat to others, that I didn't want to cooperate. the whole time, everyday, I was having constant panic attacks that I had to leave class and missing homework.. nobody there was willing to help me except just transferring me to another school. I had to worry not just about failing my classes, but not even graduating on time or even being set back 2 years, plus the constant thought of me wanting to commit "scuba dive". I had to literally force myself and think about of the worst things that could happen, scaring myself to finish without any help and I did graduate... but at what cost? now I'm not on any meds, i still feel like poop, i can't leave the house without having a panic attack. They should understand that everyone operates differently and you finding a way to balance school and mental health is a perfect example, take that opportunity that your school is giving you !!! its not about being happy, it's the matter of fact of being able to STABILIZE yourself so that when you are "in the real world" you're able to push through, plus you can find manyyy awesome resources "in the real world" !! sorry to ramble but I kinda hope this helped, I wish you the best this school year. you can do this ♡
