I need to go into my classroom and finish setting up today. The plan was to be done with my riom by the end of today so that best week I can just focus on moving. I feel guilty though because I think I might sleep more before going in. I’ve been doing so much and I’ve felt very tired. Now this morning I woke up tired and anxious and sometimes I feel guilty sleeping when I’m anxious because it’s a way to
Avoid my feelings. It’s not a good coping strategy. However I am actually tired. I don’t know if sleeping longer is good but I also beee to listen too how tired my body js

No need to feel guilty for how you feel. You feel tired that's okay. That is valid. Moving and setting up your classroom for the start of another school year is a lot. Your body is trying to tell you to relax and get a little bit of shut eye.
I'm glad to hear you are aware that avoiding your feelings is not a good coping process. And you are right it's not. Anxiety is 1 of those things that if you try to push it out of the way without actually sitting with it and letting it move away on its own comes back with the vengeance.
I recommend Dare app, book or even YouTube videos. To learn how to first recognize the feeling you feel, sit with it and then let it go.
Maybe before you go to bed try some winding down techniques. Like a nice cool shower, soft music, get boyfriend to give you a rub, some chamomile tea or scents (lavender and chamomile) to help create a relax environment. You got this and you can enjoy your sleep 😴
