Everything is just bad right now

[bunniies]

I'm new to this website but I've had anxiety/social anxiety since I was 12 (17 now) it spiked to getting very bad about two years ago, to a point where I missed 40 days of school in a year, currently missed 40 too but still 3/4 months left of school. How do u face it? I've done 3 therapists, CBT, EFT, massages, vitamins, breathing techniques, headphones and going to go back to therapy and try ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Ontop of my anxiety, I'm diagnosed with Autism (Aspergus) which causes huge sensory issues, related to noise to a point where I can't the smallest of noises in the morning or I have a meltdown and basically can't go into school, I've tried headphones to block it out, I've tried relaxing music and more sleep. I just can't do it anymore, school. I can't drop out but I've tried, everything. It's really difficult right now. Does anyone have any tips or anything else I can do? I'm really about to drop out.

We have home school here in United States. I am not sure what country you are living, hopefully a country that home schooling. You do all your schooling online, it's the future. You do college, work, shop, basically everything online these days. My youngest grown daughter has asbergers too. She has shyness issues. She wears headphones in crowds, listening to her music. She went to public school because online home schooling wasn't really existing when she was in high school. Online home schooling has just gotten huge now, just recent. Anyways, I would conference with each teacher and the game plan she sat in front row and teacher and class mates were aware of her autism /asbergers. She graduated and tried college, it didn't go well however we have a advocate at the college and she lives in dorm room and is working with college advocate for students with disabilities and so far so good. I hope this helps

I'm sorry you feel this way. I didn't like high school either with my social anxiety. I ended up leaving a year early and doing what is called "dual enrollment" where I basically just went to college a year early but it also counted as my senior year of high school. I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Is this something you could maybe look into? It wasn't well known at my school when I did it. I'm in the US.

Just know that things get better after high school. Try to graduate and then move on with your life. I hope you feel better. Let me know if you ever want to talk.
