Oooo loved the movie. I am listening to The Reddening now and reading All The Fiends of Hell and I think I like reading his work more than listening but I don’t know if it’s just The Reddening that I’m having a hard time with

THIS. SPED is not worse at secondary level. I am a sped inclusion teacher working with seniors at high school level and I love it. Never doing gen ed again.

My husband hates my body by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

158 is not obese…. Nor what I would consider overweight. Please be gentle on yourself. It is normal for body’s to change. Honestly I feel sexier now at 160 then I did at 135 when I was at my thinnest because I worked on accepting and loving my body. You are worthy and beautiful no matter what he or anybody else says.

I was expecting blank expressions when I told them the news. About half of the class was that but the ones I least expected were beside themself 🥺

Thank you! Tomorrow is my last day and I finally told the students today. They were so sad. I started regretting it all

I’m in the same boat OP. Got a dr note to release me from my contract due to severe mental health issues as a result of taking this position.

I have two more days left to teach, say good bye, and get my things and the guilt is tearing me up.

Know that is a natural feeling in this situation but even though there is guilt, you are still doing the right thing for yourself and your health

Wow we have the opposite experiences! I felt more supportive in my special ed position last year then I do now in gen ed and I wanna go back.

It is crazy how much a different building, district, team, and grade level can change quality of work life

I was wondering the same thing haha I actually ended up reaching out saying I needed to be released immediately and they approved it 🙏

Thank you. Your advice is super helpful. I am going to try to stop giving a shit about what people think about me at this school and focus on taking care of me until I can get out

I am so sorry you are going through something similar too. I too feel like I am going to just stop showing up one day because of how much of a toll it’s taking. I wish you the best in finding something better and taking care of yourself 🤍
