Hello!! I, (17f) have been having a hard time recently. Ive been very very depressed and have been working really hard to get back to school. I’m insanely behind and probably won’t graduate w my grade due to how much Ive missed. Ive accepted this fact and know its my fault. Despite all this, ive been doing my best to get back to school. Ive been talking to teachers, doing work and more despite the circumstances of my life. Recently though, I went through another one of my huge depressions and stopped showing up again, missing around a month. I talked to my therapist about how to get me back and she said that even just getting into the school is a win. I figured she was right, so for the next week or two, I went to school in the mornings to see my friends and then went home. This was really helping me and giving me motivation to go every day. And I was proud of myself for even getting into the building since most the time I would just hide in the library, too ashamed by how depressed I was. Anyways, last week. I had planned on going back to classes the next day, I even had an appointment with the school so I could talk about my classes.. when The principal would call me to her office while I was w my friends. I tried to tell her i had an appointment but she wanted to see me now. I agreed and went to her office. Inside her office, she asked me how I was doing. I told her i hadn’t been doing well, that i was at one of my worst depressions and that I was doing the best i could. This was when she told me that she had noticed I had only been going in the mornings recently and that she had ‘let it slide’ for a bit but now shes getting sick of it. She told me this isnt a mall and that if i keep this up, she will kick me out of the school. To say I was heartbroken was an understatement lol, I desperately held back tears and said I understood then had to go back to the table with my friends and act like I was okay and that I wasn’t on the verge of sobbing. I went home feeling like an idiot. And feeling like I just shouldn’t have even came back to school. Giving up wouldve been easier. Anyways, ever since that day, Ive been scared to go back. All my previous motivation and all the accomplishment I got from even stepping into the building has been shattered. I’m scared that they’ll kick me out and I’m ashamed of myself. Ive been avoiding school for a couple days, scared i’ll get kicked out and just embarrassed. But I have a meeting on Tuesday with the school and now I’m scared. Am I overreacting/ Am I the asshole?
