@madeformorewithgwen: You can love teaching and still admit you don’t know how much longer you can keep doing it. And when your family depends on your paycheck, “just quit” isn’t exactly helpful advice. So I’m not waiting until I’m completely done to figure out what comes next. I’m learning how to build another source of income while I still have mine. If you’re somewhere between “I can’t keep doing this” and “I can’t afford to leave”… you’re exactly who I made this page for. 🍎 Follow along. We’re figuring out the next chapter before we need it. #TeacherTok #TeachersOfTikTok #TeacherBurnout #LifeAfterTeaching #TeacherLife
After school? I put my head in my hands five times a day and ask myself this question.

I was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing at the beginning of this school year...my nervous system was completely shot...I was in a very bad place and I absolutely cannot go through it again. I'm committed to leaving after this year for a lesser paying job but I will supplement income somehow

I’m so drained. Year 20 and I’ve never wanted out so badly.

This year has been the worst year in my 16 years. The worst year. My kids are good I don’t have a complaint about them. I told my husband I’m miserable at work and my mental health has taken a huge hit. He acted mad that I said this and looked like how dare you! I’m so scared to try something because I’m afraid to get scammed out of all my money. Can you really help me earn morw

I had so many of those days. Now 31 years later I just retired. My first pension check came this week. I’m glad I did the journey. Now the hard times are fading and the sweet memories are rising more and more to the top.

I decided I wasn’t letting anyone keep me from. Doing what I wanted so I changed my attitude, said screw them and am having the best year of my career!

I am on year 14 and I just can’t anymore. I’m exhausted- just increase my anxiety and anti-depressant meds. It’s been 2 months. How am I here already!? [Crying]
