Hello, I hope you guys don't mind me posting on this board. But I just read a post from 2010.(haven't been here in a while) That was discussing stress and teaching.
I am a substitute teacher.I have been doing it for the last 10yrs.,but it's starting to get very stressful for me. I substitute in a mddle school 5-8 grade. I was a hairdresser for 10 years b/f then.
I am thinking about quitting and applying for SSDI. My husband really wants me to let it go. He feels I don't need the stress of it all. He wants me to focus on my well being and not the money.
I only work part time. But just going in for those 2-3 days is so frustrating and exahusting! I have some cognitive issues that seem to be getting worse and alot of times I can't even do the 5th grade work
The daily stress of going into the unknown doesn't help either and I feel that each year they expect more of us as subs that I'm just not measuring up to.
Anyway thanks for reading. You guys (Teachers) are the best and you ARE appreciated.
God Bless,
Meissie
