I am a senior in high school. I have severe clinical depression and anxiety disorders, as well as ADHD and chronic exhaustion/stress problems. School has sucked the life out of me to the point that I have a breakdown almost every other day. I have no energy left to put into schoolwork anymore, and I'm floundering because of it. I used to be a straight A student, now I'm at risk of failing out of school. I feel incredibly guilty that I act this way. My other small joys have also been ruined by rude teachers and b.s. policy changes. I feel like a shell of who I once was. I'm applying to art schools and then planning to defer and take a gap year. I want to pursue animation and game art, as well as acting. I just don't have anything left at this point to keep going. Should I drop out/take a medical leave of absence?

I am a 17 year old boy and i have a crush on another guy in my graphic design class. He's into similar things i'm into like urbex, art, photography, comics, and music. He's really funny and sweet. I want to ask him out on a date, but i have no idea what to do! please help!! also i need tips on how to recover/act normally if I'm rejected bc this is the first crush I've had in literal years so I don't know how to deal with feelings. I also was in a manipulative relationship for a while, and it f**ked up how I navigate this stuff.
