Anxiety about going to work

[Guest]

I can so relate to your situation. I teach small group instruction to children in grades kindergarten-third. My job is to find out what area these kids are having diffuculty in and to help them to succeed without going through special education classes. It is highly stressful being that I don't have very long to work with the kids and I suffer from panic and anxiety also. I work for a wonderful staff and they would do anything to help me out, I still however, feel as if I am under pressure all the time. When I am alone with the kids I also think to myself, what am I doing trying to help these kids when I feel so insecure myself. I too have had good evaluations and I don't know how. I love the kids and they can seem to add so much enjoyment to an otherwise dreary day. Hang in there. I think sometimes we just don't give ourselves enough credit.
Good Luck & God Bless
