School anxiety & sadness

I feel down because I left my old school due to bad mental health and I told people I left so everyone would stop asking why I’m not at school but everyday I was constantly pray and hide hoping I won’t get spotted by friends and I felt scared.

Right now I’m at a new school it’s been 2 years and I’m finish year 11 in a few weeks and I’m happy and proud of everything but now I just saw a video of my old school doing the leavers trend and it made me sad thinking how much I’ve missed out , idk why. Even at my new school I get talked about and looked at and have no friends.

But I try not to care about my old school and all school in general and about not making friends in school also sometimes I feel like I wanna go sixth form but that’s not a good and realistic path for me so I tell myself that everyone has to leave school and move on with their life , also in a few years time loads of friends won’t talk to eachother and we will all just work forgetting about everything . So that kinda comforts me ( not in a weird way ) it helps get rid of the feeling “I wish I had friends and stayed at my old school “

It’s kinda helping but I still feel a bit empty so I’m just venting on here.

Hope every one has a good day :)

I think you did what’s best for you, and I’m proud of you for being proactive about your mental health! That’s a brave and awesome step <3

I know it’s hard… The regrets, the fear of people asking questions, losing experiences and friends. You did what your body and mind needed, and you will make more friends. Maybe even better friends! <3

We love you and we’re here for you <3
