Most of my anxiety is due to high expectations I have on my academics. Unfortunately, because I've become so stressed and anxious, my academic performance has actually declined and I've been skipping class a lot (not important lessons, of course). Both my psychiatrist and therapist have told me that I need to loosen up and let go a bit in school but I don't know how. For those of you that have been through this, how do you deal with it? How do I let go and be ok with 80s without feeling fear and regret? I feel like I'm going to mess up my future and regret it for the rest of my life if I become ok with this.

My teachers have received a psych note from my psychiatrist explaining my diagnose of GAD and MDD but none of them have acknowledged it or talked to me about it. They all still expect the same of me and treat me no differently. Maybe it's because I don't break down in school and I put on a strong act but this is killing me inside. I don't even know what I'm fighting for anymore. I'm just stuck between thinking what's the point in trying and fear of regretting this in the future. I'm so conflicted and have no idea what to do anymore. I honestly just want to drop out of school and run away from my problems. Any advice?
