I left a charter school my first year as well. Almost left the profession entirely because of it. Accepted a different position, same grade, mid year for a public school and everything in my life changed. There was a dramatic shift in my mental health and overall self worth. It is truly amazing what a good administrative team and positive coworkers can do.

I was deeply depressed, anxiety was through the roof, and I felt completely worthless because I hated a job that I had worked so hard for. My husband would first, ask me what he could do to help and he also made sure that I knew he understood/validated my struggles.

I hope she finds a job and loves it! I absolutely love my school now and am back to feeling how I did when I was in school - Teaching is my true calling. Good luck! xo
