Hi everyone.
I've posted here a couple of times before about my situation.
I'm training to be a teacher, and I'm struggling massively, to the point where I'm constantly seriously depressed and honestly struggle to find a point to still being here. Sorry this is so clumsily said - I hope I get the idea across.
I started training in August, and have been feeling overwhelmed, depressed and anxious since then.
I feel that it's relevant to add here that I also have extremely low self-esteem and low self-confidence.
I've never felt like this on such a regular basis. The depression, anxiety and inferiority that I feel is something that I've felt very day since starting, and it's never ever been so bad as now.
I also feel a huge sense of frustration, as I feel that I'm putting in a huge amount of effort but I still run out of hours in the day to get everything done. And I haven't been able to find time to look after myself properly, which I'm sure is also adding to my general feeling. I feel constantly tired, hungry and absolutely worn-out.
I'm seriously considering giving up. This sounds terrible, I know.
I'm wondering if I could look for another job at this stage? As in a non teaching job. And what my options are really. I'm particularly worried that companies and employers will overlook me once they see that I haven't completed teacher training and gave it up just three months in. Help.
I'm really, really struggling.
Any advice at all about how to help?
I've been to see my GP, who's said they'll reference me for counselling but I am still waiting to hear back about this.
Just feeling so completely down.
