Hi, I am in the process of making an appointment to see my GP about this but I thought I'd pick your brains if that's OK?
A bit of background... I am a 43 year old teacher with 2 children, DS is nearly 7 and DD is nearly 4. DS is the process of being investigated for ASD and ADHD and has not had a good year at school behaviour wise. I have been called in a few times and he has been sent home from After school club twice. Last year I had a year six class. There were several with SN and behaviour issues and it was a god awful year. My stress levels were ridicuously high and I came perilously close to being signed off.
Term ended and the first 2 weeks of the hols were filled with catching up on all the things that didn't get done during the term! Then we went away and had a lovely holiday.
On getting back I find myself totally lacking in energy, I am tired all the time but I am sleeping very badly, lots of strange dreams about work.
I do feel that this is probably all a reaction to the crap that was last year and that these last 2 weeks have been the first bit of 'down time' since I waved farewell to my class. I am going to see my GP regarding my periods as they have gone haywire and I shall ask for an MOT but in the meantime I keep worrying that this is something to worry about IYSWIM.
I wondered what you lot thought?
Thanks

Is this still a reaction to the stress?
