My doctor had me take a week off because of the chronic stress and borderline panic my situation at work is causing.

In many ways, I feel recharged, confident...and more ready than ever to quit. :(

Not sure what is stressing you about your situation, but seeing a psychologist and working with detachment, has really helped me keep perspective. Burnout and panic is unfortunately a really common "side effect" of our profession. There is a definate clash between the typical teacher mentality and the system in which we work. Protect youreself and follow your heart.

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!
