I’m a special education teacher and I don’t think I can do this anymore. To be clear, this has nothing to do with my students. I love them to death and I love them as if they were my own children. The thing that’s killing is the stress and anxiety that comes with this job. I’ve been making minor mistakes at work, but I feel like the mistakes are adding up and that I’m one slip up away from unemployment. I’m only 2 years in and I want to leave it all behind for something better. I’m in a position where leaving right now is currently not an option, but I can’t keep doing this to myself. I feel like I made a huge mistake by going down this path. I can’t bring myself to tell my family this because they spent so much money for me to get my degree and I fear they will disown me. I feel stuck and I don’t know what to do.
