My anxiety has been debilitating again. I’m starting to feel the pain of not working right now. But I can’t go back to teaching. The mere thought of that makes my anxiety so much worse and it’s bad enough as it is. But…what else can I do? I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree. I’m a hard worker. I’m good with technology. I’m good with people. But I have no idea what my next career path should be. Why is it that as a teacher I feel pigeon-holed into just being able to do that one thing?? I’m sure there are so many skills I gained from teaching that would easily slide over into a new career. But I feel completely stuck and it scares me. I feel like a failure. I’m failing my husband. Failing my kids. Failing myself. If anyone out there happens upon this post and has some brilliant ideas for me, please let me know. I’m lost.
