I was a teacher for 8 years. I left my career early last year and after a couple of months of not working became a caregiver for a short period and now a nanny. I have forgiven myself for leaving a great career and have stopped thinking that I failed.
Being a nanny is something I think of as short term not something I want to do forever.
I have been off and on my antidepressant finally coming to the conclusion that although I don't usually need it in the spring and summer right now I do.

Job searching isn't fun and the fear I can't get rid of is what if I find something else and the depression and anxiety get the best of me again. I couldn't continue teaching because it was too overwhelming. I was stressed out and had to give myself a pep talk just to walk into my classroom.
I just don't know what to do with myself, I feel stuck, and sometimes I think I'll settle for any job that can pay my bills and isn't too stressful. I'm a smart gal with 2 degrees. Where do I go from here?

Can anyone relate?
