I'm close to being kicked out of college because of my attendance and I missed yesterday and I'm considering skipping today because even getting out of bed and getting dressed wore me out. I'm sat on my floor in a ball because I just don't want to move or do anything. I'm scared for my future, I don't want to be like this, I want to go to college and do well but the thought of leaving my house makes me want to cry and just crawl back into bed. I'm trying to make up for it by doing whatever work I can but it's hard without any materials from my teachers.
I don't know what to do anymore..

You sound depressed. Can you make an appt with whoever described the anti-anxiety med to discuss maybe starting an anti-depressant or at least changing the anxiety med, doesn't sound like it's helping anyway.
If you're having that hard of a time, can you take some time off? Do you think you can manage to get up and make an appt with your guidance counselor? They can a) help you decide where to go from here and b) help with getting accommodations, provided you get a solid diagnosis and c) act as a liaison between you and your professors. If you really can't leave the house, can you at least e-mail your professors and let them know what's going on? A lot are more understanding than you might expect and may be willing to work with you. Can you try to do one small thing everyday to move you forward? i.e. e-mail your professors, make an appt with your doctor, make an appt with your guidance counselor, leave the house for one class, even getting up and getting dressed can be an accomplishment sometimes. College is rough. You can get through this though. You can do this. Hang in there. Keep us updated.
