I have a full-time job as a teacher and I come home absolutely exhausted from dealing with so much pain and teaching all day and feel like I don't have a life because I am just trying to catch my breath and can't really do much. Some days, I have duties at work, I don't even get a bathroom break all day and have back-to-back classes and then have meeting to attend after school. When I get home, I don't feel up to doing household chores, making dinner, etc. I am really feeling discouraged and if things keep like they are, I am not sure how much longer I will be able to do all of this. I feel so alone and feel really discouraged because I am only 25 and it doesn't seem normal. Anyone else feel this way?
