I have general/social anxiety, and most days it is a battle just to leave the house. What helps me is making sure that I am very prepared to leave; that means every little thing that I can find wrong with what I need to do or have (like my appearance, my posessions, etc) is take care of before I even think about going anywhere. This means getting up super early to shower and triple check to see if there’s deodorant on on my shirt, and that I have my wallet, and that my phone is, in fact, fully charged; so be it.
Also, before you leave, think about what it is that freaks you out about school. I hated going to school in the morning too, I hardly ever was on time, and my senior year I missed 68 days! I only graduated because my mom and my psychologist got together and petitioned the principal. Don’t worry! If your school is responsible for your counseling sessions that means they know you have a problem and that you are doing your best; even if that means you have to go to summer school you will graduate as long as you try hard and follow the plan your school gives you.
So what freaks you out about going to school. What bothered me the most was not feeling fully prepared to leave in the morning because we had to be there so early and I always over slept. Also, I would freak about the people I had to go to class with everyday. They would make me feel angry, and annoyed, and most of all, incredibly JUDGED. But really, (and no offense) what can a 14 year old really do to you and your life? Most of the things 14 year olds say are just not-thought-through observations about their immediate surroundings, and regurgitated opinions on the world. So you show up late after missing a few days, and they say, “hey you’re missing alot of class. that’s bad.” Boom, careless observation followed by careless statement of moral standing on the issue.
Don’t worry about it. My freshman year is so far behind me now (I’m 21 now) that I can barely remember anything that happened. You seem like you know what you have to do, just remember that as long as you can keep fighting, you should keep fighting
