Anxiety of work

[Hope1985]

Does anyone suffer from work related anxiety? Egoraphobia? Last school year I had a rough experience with a parent and my administrator scared me all the time because of her rough personality. It was too much I guess, on top of doing a new role at my same school site. I was put on leave and am due to return in August. I pray I can get rid of this fear.

I don’t have much advice but I was in a similar situation this year.

All that helped was just shutting it out. Forwarding everything hurtful the parent sent to me straight to the principal, using my time after school to just relax (that should be when I’m prepping so shhh but I needed the self care more lol), and also remembering that you can’t make everyone happy. And honestly, some parents are dicks, it’s not your fault. Just remember that you’re done for now and will hopefully have a new, positive school environment when you’re back. Good luck! 💖
