I've kind of gone from reasonable coping with workload to sleepless terror pretty much overnight. I need to list off all the things I need to do and start ticking...

Teaching (you are teaching right?) is seriously the hardest fucking thing I've ever done. And I've done really incredibly challenging tough professional jobs requiring massive workloads.

Teaching... Everyone needs you constantly, there is no rest, and you are expected to do five thousand things a day, some of which literally conflict with each other...

Be kind to yourself bb in whatever way you can. You WILL get to a point, and sooner than you think, where the sheer terror subsides...but it is always, always incredibly difficult, aka literally impossible to do all that is "required." The good news is, after a while the things that are terrifying now aren't so much, and you are able to focus in and work at improving -- I am definitely a work in constant progress.

Pick your battles, do what you HAVE to do each day, and try to focus on what an incredible impact you will be having on the kids you teach. *hugs*

Thanks for the understanding. :) It really is so incredibly tough, but so incredibly good. I'm just worried I'm not doing my job well enough. I guess everyone thinks like that a lot of the time, right? XD

*hugs lots* I really appreciate this comment.
