Here's a little update for fun.
After becoming anxious and depressed to the point of non function in early November, I've now been away from school for significantly over a month.
I went to a residential for a little while, but it made a feelings worse. Supposedly that was semi-intentional for therapy reasons, but long story short it wasn't for me, and I got myself pulled out early against medical advice.
I then went to and am currently still in a PHP, which involves being in a place from 9 to 5, Mondays through Fridays. Within each day are 6 different hour-long groups with therapy stuff and psychoeducation. Plus some individual therapy and family stuff.
It's just not working. Nothing helps, barely anything makes sense. I'm doing better overall, because I'm away from school and getting some social interaction, but most of those 40 hours a week are wasted time. I've looked into my thoughts and emotions a lot, and it just doesn't seem that I operate in a way that is typical and works with their frameworks. My brother thinks I probably have autism (he does himself, and I've talked to him about it), but that's not something I can really learn about or look into there. It's exhausting.
On top of all that, not one friend from school has contacted me for the over a month I've been gone. Seems I'm not very important to many people I've known for years, which I guess isn't too surprising.
So yeah. Not too great right now. But for better or for worse, once I'm out of treatment I have the rest of the school year free.

I get that, feeling like you're not doing anything worthwhile and that you're stuck. I've felt the same and feel it a little bit. I think the best thing to do is try to reach out to other people and not wait for them to do it. It's the next step I'm going to be taking tomorrow. We can get through all of this!
