Posting here for traffic. I've had a relationship break down this month which sent me a bit crazy. I run my own tutoring business, but thought going back to classroom teaching might give me more stability and regular hours. So I got a short term contract through an agency.

The school was lovely, but after an hour my anxiety was through the roof. I was sobbing in the toilets. I left my last school with anxiety issues and it seems all those issues were triggered by being back in a school again.

I quit after two days. The school and the agent were mystified and angry with me, as I left the school having to find someone else.

I started citalopram four days ago. I'm sitting in bed shaking, feeling suck and with no energy. I let everyone down. I'm such a failure.

I'm having periods of calm but then feeling guilty again.

I will try. And I'm not going to contact school/agent till I feel better. Any communication with them may increase the anxiety.

How are you feeling today dontcall?

I'm feeling a bit better. I've deactivated Facebook to cut out the noise in my head a bit. Unbelievably the supply agency are still offering me work, but I'm ignoring them for a while.
