Ugh why do I feel so down...

I really don't get it! I thought I was fine post-wedding. I had little sad moments but overall I was fine.

Ever since Tuesday I've been so down. Is it back to school blues? Any other teacher feeling like this? Or is it hitting me I have nothing big to look forward to anymore? Except maybe the highly stressful concerts...

Is it waking up early every morning again? Is that just making me cranky?

I just hate being in my classroom and feeling all ho-hum and not wanting to do anything. It is my second year so nothing is really all that new- except for the new kids for me in 1st grade. Once the kids get in here I'm fine...but I feel like I'm just dragging when I'm not teaching. I hate being so unmotivated!!

We had our first faculty bday breakfast and I didn't even wanna go!! What is wrong with me?!?!

I keep reminding myself I'm not like the other returning teachers who just had babies and had to leave them for the first time- they're going through so much and I feel for them. I keep reminding myself that I love my job...but why don't I feel it?

Thanks for letting me vent. I just would like to hear some perspectives from others.

Oh Tara I'm so sorry you are feeling down...maybe it's post summer and wedding blues? I'm sure you'll be back into the swing of things by next week..Feel free to email or ring me if you need to chat

Yeah I guess it has to be just a combination- could be PMS too!

It totally has to be the fact that teaching isn't new anymore, and that I don't have a wedding to plan. And when I think about it, last time I was teaching, I had a lot of exciting things going on! Now it's back to real life. Which is fine...but I guess it's just a crash from a year long high.

I really thought I was home free and wasn't gonna go through this! It s ucks to feel this way when I have a job to do and I have to be so excited and happy around the kids!

Thanks for listening.

Its all part of the post-wedding depression. You dont even realize it, but it effects your everyday kind of stuff. you remember your first year of teaching being new and exciting with a wedding to talk about and toplan and new kids and everything.....but this year you're just going to work and nothing really big and exciting is going on in your life since the wedding is over. Its completely NORMAL to feel this way and it will go away. My advice would be to take up some kind of project for after school/weekends. Maybe putting together a scrap book, or re-decorate the house....anything that'll turn your attnetion to this NEW big thing that consumes your life. I've found that since the wedding I always need something to focus on -- and right now its the move to Georgia and decorating the apartment....but its kept my mind active and excited and I'm not as down anymore.

Thanks Jenn...I really appreciate it. I know you're right. It's just not cool crying between classes- it's so bad!! It's making me so unmotivated to do anything when it comes to planning for school! And this SHOULD be my big project - I'm still new to it after all.

ugggh I just hate this...I wish it would go away. I feel completely stupid - far worse things happen everyday and I'm depressed over this crap.

Thanks again.

Crying between classes?? Girl....go out and grab some ice cream with DH tonight or something....do something to cheer yourself up a bit

theres SO MUCH to look forward to girl!! Should your wedding day be the LEAST to look forward to in life....

I really think its just your classroom bringing you down.. My SILs are teachers so I know how hard it is to keep kiddies happy

sorry youre feeling down but im sure it has to do with having the school blues. We all get that!

We all have so much in life to look foward to, the wedding was jsut the beginning and the best is still yet to come!
