My previous position was flexible with start and end times...as long as we were accountable and updated our calendar. Now I'm in a typical classroom and I have set times. It is turning out to be a scheduling nightmare. How do you guys manage?

I have a disability letter on file with human resources stating what I need to maintain being "a healthy, productive member of society." For me it's having the same schedule everyday, the same classroom including for planning, and teacher buddies each block (or admin) who are willing to come in and take my class for a few if I have a panic attack. So far I've been hospital free for 6 years
