Hello! I'm not sure if I am posting this on the right place but I am looking for advice.

I have been completing my teacher training course since September, and honestly my mental health has completely gone to shit - I am having panic attacks, stopped eating and I am absolutely exhausted.

I am doing 'well' on the course, and because of this, they have given me more and more responsibility. I have explained I cannot cope, etc, but this has been ignored.

I have found out I am pregnant, about 9 weeks, and I want to quit - the stress was literally killing me before, and I don't want to hurt my baby.

My dilemma is, we are in the middle of a pandemic. Is this stupid when there is only 5 months left?

Will jobs look down on me for leaving?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

I think a lot of people will tell you to quit. Only you can decide but I was in your position 20 years ago and I’m so glad that I didn’t give up.

@Money0201 thank you for the speedy response! If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to stick it out?

Mostly that thinking long term it was the right thing to do. It was incredibly hard and stressful time but it brought rewards over the long term.
