How are you taking care of yourself if you have depression? All of my ways of staying grounded and motivated were attached to my routine and the fulfillment from work. I feel like I’m losing all motivation and struggling more the longer remote learning goes on.

I'm actually attending yes a virtual group session to keep myself from going too far down the whole. Yes I'm totally frustrating but all these video meetings that we've been having. But it has been helpful so kind of prioritize my day and keep an eye on specific things to focus on daily. I have hit a couple of emotional Downs along the way. But it has been helpful and supportive and also checking in with a therapist not as often as I want to but checking in to get support for tips his hopeful I hope. Hope that helps

I’m finding it hard to stick with a routine under these circumstances, too. I’m making sure to schedule times to virtually meet with people including students, families, and my grade level team. As much as I dread these meetings (the feeling I get related to depression), I always feel better afterwards and they do provide some structure for my day.

Community has kept me grounded. I have several community groups from church to family to friends and professional colleagues. I’m meeting with any number of these groups throughout the week.
In addition I have embarked on my own quest for professional development. I attend webinars in my discipline, read books and articles that spark my interest, and work on my online instruction game. I’m trying to glean the best info from the teachers I admire the most or those that have found success in online teaching.
Personally I am working on healing and forgiveness. Through prayer, meditation and mindfulness I have become more aware of my triggers and what I can work on to move forward and face fears, anxiety, and depression.
This has been a regenerative time for me. When am I ever going to have to time to gain strength from the people I love, learn more about my craft, and heal hurts that I’ve been holding on to? No time like the present. I really want to be better when we emerge from this time of solitude.
My hope is that we all learn and grow through this. I have found that gratitude may be one of the biggest lessons I have learned from it all.

Thank you.

Ever since my first year teaching, I have gone to a counselor, as well as taken medication. Not only is it nice to get things off my chest, but it’s nice to feel like my feelings are valid. Support groups are nice for overall teaching support, but it’s best to have something available for one-on-one.

Following. I feel similar to you. Losing my motivation. I’m starting to go down the hole. Physical health issues make it worse. (Surgery this week will help, I hope.)

I feel better after I take a shower and step outside. (I’m not taking my own words, either.). I’m somewhat fortunate in that my depression is not chemical(?) but more of an anxiety product. My prior depression was gyno-related that went away after a hysterectomy.

Are you able/has medication helped? Have you tried teletherapy to talk to someone? Sense of fulfillment: is there a hobby, low key, that you can latch onto to act as a sort of placebo? (Just tossing an idea, I don’t know if that would even be workable...)

As a Para, I can feel your frustrations. When it comes to helping children, I am not allowed a computer to help them, even with zoom meetings. I get frustrated because I am unable to do my job. We have not experienced anything like this before and to be thrust into this is truly overwhelming. My secret to this is to pray. My verse in this time is Psalms 46:1. It says " God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Lean on this verse and realize that you are not alone in this. Things will get better.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
