I'm having an issue right now, and I'm not sure what to do.
I've missed a few days of school and 2 of them were due to depression and anxiety. My art teacher sends me an email saying that I need a doctor's note otherwise I'll fail the course.
I haven't been diagnosed with depression and anxiety because I've never gone to the doctor for it. Is depression and anxiety even a acceptable excuse to miss class in the same way that the flu is?
I would really rather not have everyone know that I have depression. I don't even want my grandparents to know that I have it because I don't want them to worry.
Do you guys think that I should just drop the class since it only makes my depression and anxiety even worse, or should I get a doctor's note so that my absence will be excused and just endure the remainder of the semester knowing that my teacher knows about my issue? Or do you suggest something else?
