    Apparently there’s a way to take an authorized mental health break from (high) school. Anyone know anything?

    Mood : Hopeful
    • You should be allowed to take a mental health break from school @985921sqh, it really should be legal in all countries to do that so students can look after themselves emotionally and mentally, to be able to get away from the stresses of studies, I would check with your school district first, I live in the UK so I’m not sure about what the rules are for high schools in the US, but I hope you do take a break so you can feel relaxed, calm and at ease, keep being awesome Echo and stay fantastic, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent, stay strong, you are never alone :) (hugs)

    • @oliver, I live in the US. Thanks for trying tho!

    • Definitely heard of it before (my ex did this in college), but unfortunately I’m not familiar with how to go about doing it.
      For college, I remember my ex having quite a difficult time trying to earn the time off. She had to go through different types of therapy and psychiatry to diagnose and prove that she really needed it.
      Took her about a month or two, if I remember correctly.
      Perhaps it works similarly for high school? I just don’t know the beginning steps of doing it.

    • Do you recall the name of it, @devilndisguise?

    • Unfortunately, I don’t. :(
