    It's just work stuff, I'm feeling the pressure already this term :( I've got the school show to do, my HoD is leaving at the end of January (I'm dreading it :( ) and my work load seems to have doubled! You know when everything just seems a bit much?

    I'm sure I'll feel better if I manage to sleep tonight, but thanks for asking xx

    My sister, who is a teacher for 20 years, always has headaches and migranes during school term. When she is at school she worries and when it is mid term break etc she is still worrying. The only times she stops is during the summer months for a while. I had considered teaching as a career myself but I am glad I didn't now!

    I hope things improve for you!

    Another day down, it's frightening how fast they go sometimes! It wasn't that great today either; some children have forgotten how to behave over the holidays...

    I feel really emotional today as well, though I was going to cry at one point :o I just don't understand what's going on - I feel so overwhelmed by everything that's going to happen this term, and I just don't know where to begin.

    I really really need a good night's sleep, that would make everything seem easier.

    Sorry for the doom and gloom :o

    The education environment is a very stressful place at the moment with all the changes, make sure you have a good outlet for stress to relax you - very important!

    How about taking Nytol or something for a few nights to get you sleeping a little better?
