is it your only freelance job at the moment?

Yes, there are plenty of us! It's hard to juggle a full-time job and family commitments and still have time for ourselves. It's important to take breaks and make sure you're taking good care of yourself.

Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of others who are just as overworked as you. There's no doubt that freelancing can be a very demanding job, and it's important to make sure that you're taking care of yourself by getting enough rest and taking breaks when necessary.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
