TW: Slight mentions of depression/suicide.
I've struggled with chronic depression for about five years now. I had to drop out of high school after I attempted suicide. If it wasn't for my mental health, I would've graduated this year.
Anyway, senior prom's in two weeks. My parents have already paid for it, even though I didn't have a say in it. I've got really bad social anxiety, and I hate being around tons of people. I haven't talked to anyone I went to school with in over three years, so I don't have anyone to go to prom with. I know I won't be missed if I don't go, but because my parents have already paid for it, I have to go; it's not really up to debate anymore. I probably won't have anybody to talk to there, and I probably won't have a table to sit at. What should I do? How can I make the time pass while I'm there?
Thank you :)

Thanks for the advice :)
I'm going to be the same age as everyone else; they're the same people I went to school with before I dropped out, so that's good I guess.
I don't have access to a counsellor though. I've tried multiple therapists, and none of them have worked out.
Thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a nice day :)
