Just reaching out...

Hi! Everyone:

It has been a long time since I have been in this forum. I am not sure why. I switched from being a special education teacher to a para-professional and it has been a tough journey. None of the administrators had my back and even checked on me. I had a great teacher that i worked with and that helped a lot. I have recently found out that I have cancer and do not know how to feel about this. I also have borderline personality disorder and diabetes. I feel like I am hanging in air and seeing things from a different view. I know that everyone has challenges. It just seems like I have had my share. Any thoughts? Spedteacher

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear you difficult news . I honestly don't know why some people get MORE than their fair share of difficult times to deal with, it just doesn't seem right 😕 Anxiety about health is a big worry of mine so I understand a little of what you are going through. I think it's great you took on a new challenge in your life but it's a shame you haven't had all the support you could have expected. I think keeping in touch here can really help and hopefully together we can help you get through this. My thoughts are with you X

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I do have some great friends and family that have been helping me out. Quite a few friends have brought food to me. Just tonight a friend brought a brat meal. Another friend brought me down to the dr. today. My mom is coming on Tuesday to take me to the oncologist. It is overwhelming at one point. Thanks for your support!
