WTF..there is no damn justice in this world. I'm soooo sorry! Take lots of deep breaths...I know this will only make the anxiety and bad thoughts worse. You will find a way through..even if it is one moment at a time. Hugs!

Thank you for sharing. It is understandable that you are upset. It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure. What do you feel your anxiety is related to? And what are the things you like about your current job?

Thank you so much for the support !! My anxiety stems from the stress of the former job and now it's worse that I don't have one now lol I don't have a job currently

Hopefully the lawyer gets a thorough statement from you, it sounds like an unfair firing.
I don't know if it would help but going over your job description to make sure you are clear may help, maybe point out your job description to the lawyer and see if there is any protection from that. I work for a utility so I know how it can get when the crosshairs fall on someone's back. You need to fight back but make sure you do your homework, (no pun intended,) it may save your position.

I was a teacher for 15 years. At first I really loved it, but I started to feel burnt out from the amount of administrative work that teachers do, but are not compensated for. I adored my students, but I would teach all day and go home and continue doing paperwork and grading until I had to go to bed, then I would get up and do it again the next day. I felt like I had no energy left for myself or my friends by the time the weekend came. I quit teaching and now I work at a bookstore. I decided to go back to school for my certification in sound therapy or acutonics. At first I was depressed because my ego, pride and my identity had been connected to my role as "a teacher". However, being at the bookstore felt like a huge weight was lifted from me. I felt like I had my life back. I realize now that our work is a facet of what we do, not who we are and that is a healthier perspective. I still teach, but now I am learning I can do that on my terms with my new certification. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a different path whether it is temporary or a total shift. You have to take care of you first and I am proud that you are making that choice to do what is right for you. I hope the lawyer is helpful for you as teachers are allotted sick days and vacation days as well. I agree with geo70, great advice. Seek peace and healing in the path that you are on and stay strong. Do not let the administration's decision steal your power. You have a good heart.

When you're at the door opening, step through it. Try different things, and know that you did teaching with all it has involved. Look for something different to do.

Decisions made about unemployment are never easy to manage, and having an attorney is helpful in that you have someone in your corner to give support. It is something you just have to put aside, since you've done all you can do, so focus on what you can do!

Best wishes!

I am sorry to hear this has happened i will be praying that the lawyer can come to your defense and resolve this issue. Do you have any methods that you use when you are dealing with anxiety, like taking deeps breaths, grounding yourself etc? If teaching is so stressful and causes more anxiety maybe there is some less stressful job that you could do that you could still use your skills and abilities and get the pay you need. I will praying that you can have some peace and find that job you need..
