My mental health rn? ummm (oh and Trial was postponed)

My mental health? Not great, I’ll be honest. My life has been nonstop stress and go-go-go for months now. Here’s a quick rundown of what my life has been like these past few months: April 11 – Husband finds out he’s losing his job by June 30.

What the future holds

Sometimes I feel like I’m so ready to be done with teaching. And other times I feel like, how could I ever give this up? And that’s just the reality of it. I love being a teacher. And I’m good at it.
