I haven鈥檛 been in school for a decade yet I still have nightmares about it 馃槶
I鈥檓 a high school drop out (no regrets, I got my GED a year before my peers even graduated)
I hate it so much. I struggled with my mental health a lot as a kid/teen. I had an abusive home, Autism, 邪锌芯谐械xi邪, and PTSD/OCD (recent diagnoses, so I was struggling without knowing my issue).
This made me miss a lot of school because I鈥檓 an agoraphobe. I would go once a week or two weeks without showing up to class. I only showed up to take tests, turn in work, and collect my new work. At the time they didn鈥檛 let you do remote school unless you had a physical condition that bound you to home. Mental health issues didn鈥檛 count.
In my dreams, I鈥檓 filled with the anxiety and dread of having to come up with another excuse to miss school. The arguing with my mom about why I didn鈥檛 want to go. Feeling embarrassed to show up on the days I actually attended. 馃槨 I should have dropped out at 16 instead of 17.
