Better to ask for help earlier rather than later. You don’t need to take the elevator to the bottom floor to get off.

Yes, seek help early. It's no fun breaking down and having an anxiety attack in public 😔

If you’re asking…do it now!

No man is an island, and asking for help at the earliest possible opportunity will save you from a lot of stress. Coping doesn't have to be lonely

When it comes to the time you ask that question.

It dawned to me that I finally need to open up and seek help when even on the slightest inconvenience, I felt like my world was going to fall apart. I was a mess. It gets better, that, I can assure you.

Additional Posts in Mental Health and Support for Educators

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally. I’m part of a great team; I’m trusted and supported, have a great track record, there are no issues, and have been no incidents. Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!
