I have. I am in 8th grade and so far I have missed a total of about 15 school days. I've missed tests, exams, and a lot of work. I don't go to school because I have anxiety attacks and sometimes my depression just doesn't let me get out of bed. I know my teachers are annoyed with me and I know people notice I am gone a lot because they ask why. I am seeing a therapist but it doesn't help much. I am basically developing a fear of school because I hate going there and some days I REFUSE to go there no matter what... :p I am scared of that place.

So, did you ever miss a school day due to anxiety/depression/mental illness?

    Yeah, sure did. The most school I've ever missed was in year 10 (2010) I didn't go to school for... 6 weeks? But I'd been missing days before that, just not in a row, but since then I miss days every now and again, I think maybe like 8 or 9 a term, but I try to go to school because it's my final year and everything, and missing days on your report looks bad for when you're looking for a job, it makes me look slack/unreliable, and I'm really not, I just HATE school... whenever I do go, I just sit there blankly and wait for it to be over.

    I never used to be like a "school sucks" sort of person, but school ******* sucks.

    Definitely yes. I'm actually going through this right now as I type this. It's been four months so far and I'm still in the process of accepting that it's just anxiety because of how constantly sick it makes me that I find it unbelievable to attend school. I'm in college and I had to withdraw from my classes last semester and didn't even enroll at all this semester. Anyways I just started seeing a therapist and you should consider that since you're so young. There's hope.
