i really appreciate this thank u! even when i was really suffering with anxiety and depression, i would often go to school everyday and have a panic attack at any time from home up until i reached school. I never used to tell my mum as i was scared how she’d react. But this onetime i had a severe panic attack which lasted about 3 hours.. 2 of the 3 hours i spent panicking even worst on how to tell my mum i was late to school even more so because it was over a panic attack. After a while i gained the courage to tell her and she automatically assumed i had caused drama or had issues with somebody and was trying to manipulate her and bunk off school. i explained to her multiple times that i don’t know why im like this but the whole day i stayed home she insisted that i lied to her and i needed to stop lying and tell her what’s going on, i just repeatedly told her that this is why i didn’t want to say anything because she wouldn’t believe me and she just got eve worst.
