Recently, I've been skipping school. It's really the only way I can cope with everything.

Mainly, it's because of my anxiety, but also, my depression has just been getting worse recently, and this is the only place I can use for releasing what I'm feeling. I've got like three or four friends who I hang out with, and one of them is a guy who's really affectionate (or could be into me :\ ). I had a heart to heart with him a week or so back; I thought I could trust him, but he's just telling anyone which is bringing me down because I don't want anyone else to know, so I usually just change the subject or say he's lying.

Do any of you skip school? What do you tell everyone that asks why you missed a day?

I usually tell everyone I was throwing up and didn't feel well because I don't want to tell everyone the truth because I know they wouldn't understand.
