Tana Dumoulin: Check with your doctor and see if you could possibly have Avoidant Personality Disorder. This could make teamwork and social situations very difficult for you.Otherwise, I would ask my doctor if I could take a short-term anti-anxiety drug or a small dose of one an hour before gym. Exercise does have a positive effect on depression and anxiety.I have a strong feeling that this gym class is required for graduation. Ask your school counselor if it is. I almost didn't graduate college because a professor wrongly told me that First Aid substituted for gym. It didn't. But because I was active and fit, they overlooked it and let me graduate. It's worth a try to see if taking First Aid, CPR, and Advanced First Aid, all with the Red Cross, as well as possibly becoming a lifeguard (very rigorous physical requirements-like swimming the length of the pool 20 times)) could substitute for gym. You would be far more fit, and would be a real asset to your communit! y as well.The very best of luck to you!!...Show more
Marcia Cheathan: Why can't you do it? Just because you have mental health issues, doesn't mean you can't do gym. Sounds like you're just being lazy, but I'm not here to judge. What exactly did the note say? If it was just like so and so can't do gym cuz she's crazy then of course they can make you do gym. Eventually you'll have to do it. Like where I'm from, we were required to take gym freshman year and then one other time otherwise we couldn't graduate.....so just do it!
Faustino Mellerson: about it you can get information from here http://webmd19.notlong.com/AAWXTdv
Keven Drumgole: what they are doing is wrong. if you have a doctors note saying you shouldn't do gym, then the school have to obey what the doctor has told them. the fact that it is making you more stressed out is not helping your mental health. if i were you i would contact your doctor/therapist and explain the situation and how it is af! fecting you. they should then contact the school and demand th! at you be excluded from gym, the school have no right to go against a medical decision. in my experience gym teachers are a law unto themselves, and tend to think they can go above other agencies. but you are right and they are wrong. so stand up to them and say you won't be doing any gym until you have seen your therapist again, and if they say you should be doing gym fair enough, but until then stick to your guns. you obviously might find standing up to your teachers difficult, but you have a problem, that excludes you from doing gym, and you are within your rights....Show more
