Should I apply for this job?

[MoniqueTonique]

I am a TA in an Infant School and am reaching the point of hating my job for a number of reasons. Mainly the ridiculous amount of pressure for low pay. However it fits in well with family life, my DH works away a lot and my hours mean I am around for my 2 DS after school and in the holidays. Also I do love the children I work with.
I have seen a job advertised, a different role in a Senior school, less hours and I think it would be less stressful. It involves preparing resources, setting out and tidying away, some display work. I love the sound of it.
Here's the thing, I'm really struggling with anxiety right now, it comes and goes and I am feeling quite low. The whole thought of applying for something new is filling me with dread. Telling my Headteacher (I'd have to tell her tomorrow as the application has to be handed in and they say they seek references before short listing), then possibly an interview, starting all over again in a new environment...
My head is a mess, I'm quite tearful and unsettled, and don't know what to do for the best. Any outside perspective would be welcome.
Thank you.

Go for it; it's a short period of heightened anxiety for a prolonged period of gain. Good luck with your application x

Thanks surlycurly that is the conclusion I have come to, application form is now ready to go, eek! Thanks for your reply.

No worries- hope it goes well for you x

I love the sound of it

Hope you have sent in the application form. If not, stop prevaricating . Good luck.

Thank you. I will be handing it in tomorrow. Prevaricating is a good description and made me smile although I now have to face telling my Head tomorrow
