I did the same thing in 8th grade. I think you should really talk to your doctor, therapist, or any resource you have. While not only the work piles up on you, the school actually contacted me and told me if I didn't go they would bring me to court. They came every day if I didn't go and brought me there themselves.
If your school has a guidance counselor place, you can explain your situation to the counselor, and they can allow you to do make up work in there. In middle school, there brought me to a room with other kids and assistant teachers and gave me the work the teachers said was necessary. I don't know if they have that in high school, but the guidance counselor thing works. I don't know if this helps, but I know what it's like to take weeks off of school (possibly a month) for mental health issues. It might seem good right now, but making it up is not fun -
I know it isn't good but I can't even bring myself to get out of bed. I'm supposed to meet my therapist this Friday, she cancelled on me last week. I'm supposed to see her once or twice a week but I haven't seen her in like a month and with the pressure school is putting on me everything is really hard. It's not that I don't want to go to school because I really do. I hate being behind. But I just can't summon the strength. I'm hoping after the break and after seeing my therapist Friday I'll be feeling better, but I don't even know if that will work. I'm in a major low right now and unfortunately I don't currently have the willpower to push myself to get better on my own. That all sounds very whiny, I know, but I am trying. I actually did some of my homework Saturday and I got a good grade on my last essay and I do volunteer work at a semi-famous legal clinic so it's not all bad, I have been doing some good stuff. It's just hard right now and I don't know when it will be better.

I totally understand where you are coming from. Until you see someone, I think you should just take baby steps. Like get out of bed and do some form self care activity. (brush teeth, brush hair if you need to, take a shower, eat a nice breakfast, etc.) You should pride yourself for doing something like that. Then just slowly start doing more and more self care things at home. Once you talk to someone, you can make a plan for yourself.
