Never expect work to care about your mental health unless there was a death in the family (human only, I've learned the hard way that pets don't count apparently), or you make your mental illness known by making it super obvious (having a meltdown at work, openly talking about suicide or death, etc). Problem is, you'll get your day off, but you'll also get labelled as crazy, cry baby, etc by your peers; and some may lose respect for you or try to avoid you, which will make work difficult if your job requires teamwork.
As for school, just go to the guidance counselor (yeah, they have one of those in college, should be in the student center). They're there to try to help you through whatever is bothering you so you don't have to miss school (some are good, some are bad though; so hope you got a good one).
In the end, just accept that life isn't fair and that many people out there are assholes.
Does mental illness count for anything
