Social Anxiety Support

Last school year, I missed almost a third of the year due to illness, mostly stress and anxiety related. My school gives grades every five weeks, and the first marking period ended today. I haven't missed a single day so far! Kind of a stupid accomplishment, I know, but I'm proud of myself

That's not a stupid accomplishment! I know how absences and anxiety go. I miss one day and soon I'm missing several in a row because the anxiety of returning keeps building up and building up.

Congrats on not missing any days!

I agree thats not stupid. I missed so much school Freshman-Junior year of high school and almost everyday I missed was because of anxiety. I finally stopped skipping Senior year. You should be proud of yourself

Yes it's totally not stupid

And even if you grades weren't all that great your quality of life went up!

Not stupid at all!

That's great. I know how hard it is to force yourself to go to school every day, so that's definitely something to be proud of. I had perfect attendance in grade 11 and was very proud of it (don't ask about grade 12, heh). Keep it up!
