I don’t know how much longer I can do this
Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I needed to vent. This is my 4th year in my district (plus 2 as TA) and my mental health has taken a toll. I’ve been job searching for about 2 years now, and my mental health has not been good. I’ve been crying and having panic attacks every other day all summer because of how difficult job searching has been. I’ve been applying to office management and executive assistant positions, with no luck due to my inexperience. My husband’s advice is not helping either. I’ve tried “getting over it” and can’t seem to find the right balance between this job and my emotions. I feel so numb and so exhausted. I’m an empty shell simply existing at this point and have nothing else to give to my students or anyone else. The new school year starts tomorrow and I have yet to finish my classroom since I just got transferred to a new school within my district (and a new grade level). I don’t know what else to do and have just decided to exist and hope for the best. I don’t know how much longer I can do this and will continue job searching. Not sure why I’m hoping to gain from this post, but thanks for letting me vent.
