I am at my limit. Should i drop out?
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?
