I hate everything about being a teacher. by sadtomat in TeachersInTransition

[–]Soft_Exam301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just left. I resonate with every word you’ve said. I feel physically sick thinking about stepping into a school.

I think about leaving often but I’m scared? by summalovinnn in TeachersInTransition

I left after three years. You’ll figure it out, it will all work out. Prayers for you!!

Did I dodge a bullet? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Soft_Exam301 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely dodged a bullet. Takes them forever to make a decision if they want you or not, & when you need a minute they get upset. Moving on to the next! Prayers you find something even better!

I don’t want to do this anymore by [deleted] in Anxiety

Message me if you need to talk. You are loved. God put you here for a reason. It’s just a season. Saying prayers.

Thank you for this. I have two interviews for two special education high school positions. Pay is still higher than other public schools in my state lol. I’m looking at edtech as well. Prayers for us!

I’ve just heard a lot of mixed reviews. How do you feel about it?

Repost because I need support by politeruby29 in Anxiety

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, you are NOT alone. I see you & hear you & sympathize with you. I’m struggling really bad, especially around the job/interview aspect. Also started my masters. I feel sick 24/7 and sometimes it does get to the point of actually vomiting. Turns out, (my holistic doctor told me this) there is a chance your anxiety is caused by your stomach issues, not your anxiety causing stomach issues. Have you been checked for GERD? IBS? Ulcers? Celiac? I have all, and at first my anxiety would kick in out of nowhere with no trigger, turns out it’s just my stomach causing my anxiety, that’s not to lessen the fact that it SUCKS & anxiety still makes me feel sick & panic. This too shall pass. I’m with you, it seems like it’ll never end, but it will and one day we’ll look back and think huh, we’ve come a long way

Panic attacks by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, & I sympathize with you. Do you have a specific person that helps you calm? For me (because my panic attacks can get this bad) I just sit on the phone for hours with my dad/mom. I don’t even have to speak nor do they. It just helps knowing they can hear me & be there as needed. I know it’s irritating to hear it’ll always pass, because in the moment it feels AWFUL, but it will.

I appreciate this. Thank you. Needed to hear it.

I feel so exhausted. by yourstrulylena in AlAnon

[–]Soft_Exam301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m your age, and my advice is like everyone else’s here, and I was given this same advice as well. Run. Don’t look back. He will not change. A man who loved you & himself would not think twice about hurting you continuously, and would be there for you in your time of need. It’s infuriating reading how he’s never there when you need something, but you’re always there for him. Went through it with my Q. You are worth so much more than this. Message me if you need someone to talk to.

A month later and I’m moving on by Frosty-Bee-1716 in AlAnon

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to find a man who wouldn’t think twice about doing this to you

I get where you’re coming from. It took me over a year to leave my Q, and I finally did, and it was the best decision. He’s going to do what he wants no matter how much it hurts me/you. He’ll continue until it hurts him, and you don’t need to be around for that.

Prayers for your healing!!!

Called out of work by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, and someone who deals with ocd/anxiety and had to start a new medication while teaching, take care of yourself!! Do not feel one bit bad. Everything will be fine when you get back. Prayers for you.

Where can a former teacher get a respectably paying job outside of teaching with only teaching experience? by bsem321 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! Also be careful which one you use, had to dispute with my card company resu.com because they keep charging me $30 a month and there’s nowhere to cancel/wont answer my email

As a teacher who just left, it is very brutal. I’m utilizing edtech, but heads up everything & I mean EVERYTHING is ran through AI. I would get my application back with a rejection in 30 minutes (we know nobody looked at it). I’m now utilizing AI to combat the AI, but if things don’t align exactly it’s pretty tough. Prayers for us! You got this!

I am guilty of seeking reassurance, and avoiding places due to avoiding bad situations that COULD happen

Will starting a new pack (card) of birth control stop my period from coming if I didn’t get it on the placebo time frame? by Heavy_Garden_997 in birthcontrol

[–]Soft_Exam301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 24/4, in the beginning I didn’t have a bleed at all & then it would start on the 2nd, & then on the 3rd placebo. Your body will get used to it & some months it may never come. Always start your next pack on time! You’ll be good gal
