I often feel depressed, unmotivated, or just out of it emotionally, and then I find that I miss school a lot more than I should. Anyone here like this? It always makes me feel horirble about myself.

Hi there! You can always go back to school just becaus you graduate from high school does not have to mean that your education is over, you can take a six month course with something of your interest or just take a couple of classes , maybe something to have some hobbies, maybe wood burning, ceramics, their are soo many just check with your local high school or college.
Good luck!

Everyone gets depressed, and it sounds like that is the case with you spunky. You didn't say your age, only that you miss school. School can be overwhelming for a lot of people. Homework, extra activities, your peers, and whatever else you have going on can get the best of you. You should talk to your parents about this, and if you can't talk to them go to your guidance counselor, school advisor, or your family doctor. You should talk to an adult you can trust. They may be able to give you some insight into what your are going through, or give you a crisis number for your area, so you can tell someone how you are feeling.

Depression usually doesn't go away on it's own. Good luck to you!!!!

I missed school alot in 9th grade my total was like 21 days absent, but ive only skipped one day due to being to depressed to get up and go, I think school is just to harsh of an enviroment for someone like me, just the wrong the sad cant ruin my whole day and it doesnt even have to be something big but ill cry all night about it but right now im not caring about school anymore and wanting to give up on it totally

but overall I just think it all depends on ur school life

Yes...
I'm skipping right now sadly...Not because I'm bored of school, but merely because I get this indescribable feeling there sometimes. As if I don't fit in maybe? And I have friends, but there's this strange feeling that over whelms me, and I can't stand to be there. I'm not sure if it's anxiety or...I dropped out last year, but now I'm in a certain recovery program, yet now that I have more classes on the regular side of the high school, I'm finding myself at school less and less :/ I also find that when I skip, it makes me feel depressed. Like either way. Almost in a nostalgic way :/ I feel as though whomever I talk to about it, just won't understand...
