Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.

I want my old life back for a few days! It has almost been a year since I walked out on my job. It was the third time I left. I was great at teaching. The school system still says I was great, they just didn't want to deal with me anymore. No one comes by anymore. I have been alone almost everyday for a year. I didn't realize so much time has passed. I saw a calendar and wondered where the months have gone. I use to be busy-busy, respected, paid. Now I am just mom who hopefully is dressed before the children get home, a body for "wife" duties which I am suppose to act like I enjoy, my children don't have super mom anymore, people in this small town-especially people in my ethnic group, think mental illness is horrible. I just want to be like I was last year for just a few more days. Can't find a time machine.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I loved the kids/parents/teaching, but as I said the other teachers were the biggest bullies I have ever seen. I have never been "normal" I cry out for bullies. I'm in a 12yrs. interracial marriage, very liberal in southern USA,a Christian, and hate to conform- major bully magnet.
I have good memories from teaching. I taught a transfer student phonemic awareness/phonics/how to read in the 6 months he was with me. He had been in school for four years before this and his teachers hadn't taught him anything. He was "allergic" to work. I always had a way of getting work out of them in a fun way. That is why my students/parents loved me also. I taught a 5th grade girl how to count money in a few weeks. She was a sponge.
I want to be a writer. I know that sounds strange considering my many grammar mistakes-etc., but I have a creative mind. I'll let a grammar person like my husband work out the kinks. I have written one book, but I don't know what to do from here. I have a novel I am working on that is trapped in my head at the moment and I write poetry. Many people say they want a copy of my book when it is published. I dedicated it to my dad, but I am now going to include all of you guys that have kept me from driving off one of our beautiful mountains here in the Appalachian Mountians.
I hope I sleep tonight. No sleep last night or today. It is 11:30, I am tired but my body won't allow it.
Take care,
I still have that desire to teach. I have several former parents asking for me to tutor their children. I was able to aide these children in their academic growth. I may consider this at some point.
I absolutely love it. But I have respect. I get to do a very good joy MY way, not the curriculum's way. I get to teach each child HOW they can take in the info. It is a joy (and 20 per hour with few overheads). Is pocket money over the year that pays for the car and xmas. So I have to do a non-teaching admin job for the mortgage, bills, food side of life. That's ok, but not stimulating.
And yeah, head's a shed most of the time. Can still do it!!!
