I really don’t want to go back

As the thread title says. Christmas has been great, I have lovely family and friends. It’s been spoilt by feelings of anxiety and a dread of going back. I would quite happily never see anyone again from school. I know I need to get out, but feelings of being impatient about it are creeping in.
Thank you for reading.

I've been there and been supplying for a number of years. Recently supply work has taken a huge nose dive. I'm usually unindated with work. Currently non existent across a lot of areas. So if you are thinking of this as a backup, do not rely on it in this current climate.

Update: thank you all for your replies.
I’m holding out until the summer, taking my summer holidays and going from there. Definitely leaving which is a weight off of my
mind.
I need to get my head around what to do next but that will come with time.
I’ve got a CV in place and had it checked, just need to make sure I don’t end up jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Thanks for the kind words 🙂

@Detoxify its good to make the decision isn't it.

@BG2015 definitely! I had a slight wobble over letting people down, but I think I’m too over the toxic system to let that get in the way.
