@GoNoles85 Please be aware that rules vary for different colleges and states and the information you provided might not be accurate for this students’ school/state I have also taught at community college for 20+ years. Faculty at my college cannot drop a student from class for any reason. The only vehicle by which a student can be dropped from a class is with a drop form that MUST include the student’s signature. (There are exceedingly rare circumstances by which the dean of students could drop a student from a class.)
I’m going to go slightly against the grain here and suggest that the OP’s top priority should be getting mentally healthy. IF it’s anxiety/depression or something in that line that’s making it difficult for her not go to class please address that NOW. You won’t be your best self until you do and putting it off is only postponing getting healthy. This is near and dear to me as 2 of my friends kids have just withdrawn from their senior year of college due to mental health issues. This has been coming on for a while, and thinking that you can tough it out or power through it isn’t the solution.
That said, the last couple line’s of the OP’s initial post is somewhat off putting. Yes you’re an adult and can make decisions but those decisions have consequences. And there are apparently consequences of not going to this class. That’s the way things are as an adult, difficult to avoid decision making and the benefits/consequences of those decisions.
Just pointing out that the OP hasn’t signed in since starting this thread 
That can be the nature of Cafe topics. Sometimes opinions sought aren’t just what the Op wanted to hear, and sometimes they can stray off topic. In this case, it does seem peculiar.
