Sunday night anxiety

[avoschmado]

Does anyone else get this? I'm in my 7th year now and the lump in throat tearful feeling remains.

I get quite nervous after the holidays. I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety. Does it go away once you're at work?

yep. I'm up with it now.

Sorry to hear you feel this way I don't get it anymore but used to when I worked in my previous school. Got it at the end of holidays too - really badly it's not a nice way to feel.

Could you look at trying a different school? Maybe a change would help - it certainly did ffor me

Yes. Much worse when it’s the end of holidays.

I did last year but not any more. Is there something specific that you worry about?

Joining thread as I’m in a similar position to OP. Cannot sleep well on Sunday nights and yet I’m in a decent school with friendly staff and parents, and lovely children. Anxiety kicks in on Sunday daytime.

I have been getting this this term too. Feel under so much pressure for the children to make progress with regular meetings analysing the data, learning walks and book scrutinies. Poor kids are only 6.

I don’t get it anymore but one school I taught in, I used to cry on Sunday night as I didn’t want to go to work. I don’t get that at all.

*anymore!

This is exactly how I felt when I realised I needed to leave. I'd tried 3 schools. That's not to say I don't get it ever in my new career but certainly not every week and not on that level

I feel sick ☹️

Thursday morning anxiety. Am drowning.

@strawberrisc I don't believe it's normal or fair to you to feel that way about your job. You can change careers if you want to. Your mental health is so important. No job is worth that

@luckyleeds thank you for your response. I’ve worked in far worse places and I’m lucky enough to work with my absolute best friends. Education is on it’s knees in terms of lack of funding, ferel children (not all of them) and stupid, nonsensical meetings and new fangled, pathetic and pointless “strategies”.
