Thank you Kitty and everyone else. I feel like I need to again say that I am not LOOKING to be sick, but I AM sick. I know you guys get it. I also want to say that WHATEVER it is is making it difficult to continue my current job. I teach first grade. Now, please don't think I am saying I am alone in having a tough job. I realize that all jobs come with challenges and stressors. It is just that I am mentally and physically exhausted. I thought I would teach until retirement and that was that. Now, I feel like I can barely make it through each week let alone 10-15 more years. I have taught for 16 years and my mind and body are screaming they are DONE. Please don't think I just want to be a deadbeat. I just don't know if I can continue with the energy it requires. That said, I have a good short and long term disability plan. I don't feel like I am at a point where I need to use them (at least not the long term), but if I discontinue teaching and try and pursue something else, I will possibly no longer have this plan if or when I figure out what is going on and if or when I really need it. Not sure my exact point lol! I guess I am just thinking out loud (sort of). So, thanks for listening!
