I’m a teacher and I’m depressed ?

I’m a special ed teacher and I’ve been teaching since 2010. I’ve worked my ass off for the majority of that time. I love my job and the kids. <br><br>I had a nervous breakdown in 2020 when I had to do online teaching. It was chaotic. I never felt like I was doing enough. <br><br>This year I’ve had a lot of trouble getting up to work every day. I’m so tired and stressed. I had a meeting with my principal today. I’m usually very organized but this year I’m just struggling with it all. I have my own classroom for self contained students and I have 7 IEPs to manage throughout the day. I’m also supposed to see 16 kids a day for pull out services for academic support. <br><br>I’m so tired. I can’t seem to get out of bed fast enough in the morning anymore. I just can’t. I don’t want to fight myself to get up every morning. I’m hoping my doctor adjusts my depression medication because it doesn’t seem to be working very well. <br><br>Also, I’m definitely not broke. I’ve been doing it for years. <br><br>So that’s it. I think I’m just burnt out. I can’t keep pushing myself to do this anymore. ?<br><br>That’s all.
