Very anxiety ridden sleep, including uncontrollable shaking, general panic, etc. Not the most fun, but I knew if I didn't go in to school, I might never. Knocked out a few things that got me somewhat on track, then a curveball. Administration has observed me and feels my classroom management is sub-par, so I will be videotaped and critiqued. The glass half empty side says this is a vote of not much confidence, although the spin was that too many teachers are quitting, and they want to strengthen the ones they have. Everything else is good. Then I got an email saying I was going to be attending a two day seminar on classroom management and motivating students. Strike 2. Again, positive spin - it is a vote of confidence in me that I am one of 10 teachers being sent to bring back the message for others.
Altogether down day. I felt jumpy inside and terribly anxious. I had trouble being upbeat and positive...seems the mid-winter depression has arrived.
