I am just wanting some words of encouragement or advice. I'm sorry if this sounds desperate, I could just really do with some support.
I've been a teacher for 10 years now and recently I've been really struggling with anxiety. My therapist thinks it's burnout and I've decided that I want out of teaching. I've put myself on the back burner for so long working 70+ hour weeks, running on chronic stress and my wellbeing has deteriorated.
Today I plucked up the courage and had an interview for a role outside of teaching, I revised and worked really hard for the interview. However, when I got in there I froze. I answered all of the questions but reflecting on my answers, I don't think my answers were in depth. I've driven home and I can't stop thinking about how I've let myself down. My job is filling me with anxiety and I feel like I can't go on. I really wanted this job and feel so disheartened.
Any words of advice would be so appreciated. How do I pick myself up?
