Burnt out and anxious

Burnt out and anxious

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I am a teacher and I have a psychosocial disability (I have several mental health diagnoses). I've experienced burn out before in my job, in 2016 and again last year. Holidays are finishing tomorrow, and I go back to school on Tuesday, but I feel absolutely sick when I think about going back. I'm scared I'm burnt out again less than a year after the last time. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how I'll get out of bed on Tuesday. I am just completely overwhelmed.

Re: Burnt out and anxious

I am really unsure what I can help you with except support. Firstly let me reassure you that you have done the right thing taking the step and Posting, People here are really supportive and kind. We all have different issues but are here for each other.

I also suffer from multiple mental issues, I can relate to your doubts about getting out of bed.

My main issue and embarrassment is how my wife is now só corrosive of me.

Please hang around awhile and I am sure you will find advice and support from far more than myself,

Hang in there.
