Senior year absences?

I’ve been having some rough days as of late, where I literally have no energy to get up and go to school. I can’t focus, I find myself not paying attention in class, and I procrastinate so much.
This year, I’ve taken a total of 3 days off just because and a few missed classes here and there (when they were first period and I just wanted to sleep in, or if they were last and I wanted to leave a little early). We’re allowed 20 absences a year, and the most I have in one class is 7 (study hall). If we go over the limit, we’d miss out on things like the senior internship and prom and stuff like that.
In my other 3 years, I barely missed a day. I don’t think I took even 1 day off if it wasn’t for being extremely ill. Senior year has just burned me out.
I want to take the day off tomorrow, because I have 2 big assignments due Friday and I want to work on them, and also relax because I just got back from a trip.
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea, just because midterms are in 2 weeks and there are 2 classes that I’m not sure I’ll do well on (AP Stats & Physics), so maybe I should go so I don’t fall behind.
Whenever I take a mental health day, I feel so guilty. But I just hate school and I hate waking up early (as does every other student, I know).

I’m already in college, so it’s not like I need to get straight As anymore, I just have to pass my courses (I’m aware that I still need to do well, just a little pressure is taken off by being accepted to a lot of schools already).
I’m just really not sure what to do
