Hi, I’m a primary school teacher. The environment is quite intense! I’ve worked at my school for nearly ten years, my marriage broke up a few years ago and I didn’t have the best year personally or professionally. I didn’t argue with anyone but I definitely felt like I didn’t really fit in with the other staff. Anyway, I feel like I get on well with most people I work with but today I found out there’s a staff whatsapp group and I’m not in it. I seem to be the only one who isn’t. They meet up in holidays, have picnics and nights out. I feel totally wretched and awful. My confidence is so low, I don’t feel like I want to continue the relationships I have. My job share is in the group as is other teachers that have obly been here a year or a few months.
I’m correctly heartbroken after an awful breakup and now I feel like all these people are laughing at me. I feel awful and don’t quite know what to do.
