My therapist and prescription meds have helped lot. I also get up early each morning and read, write, meditate, do a little yoga, and drink tea. It calms me before I go to work

Lisa’s right. You’re definitely not alone in this.

I won’t pretend to have all the answers - I’m struggling with this too - but one thing I’ve done this year is when I feel myself overwhelmed I talk to one of my students. I ask them how their day is going and what they’re excited about. I let myself re-energize off of their hope and positivity. If you have any students who are like this, it may be helpful at least in the moment. When everything is overwhelming and building it gives you something to hone in on that reminds you of why you’re there

I too have the same issue. I now workout more. I have a therapist and take meds. I also read scriptures and do a devotional. I even take the time to sit in silence. Silence is peaceful and gives me a chance to focus on just being.

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally.

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!
