4 years ago I left the classroom after teaching for 8 years. I couldn't get a handle on the anxiety and depression I was dealing with. I left the classroom midyear after taking FMLA and started seeing a therapist who I still see to this day.

I've been a nanny during that time through an agency but I was barely making ends meet. I've felt better about my anxiety for the most part and thought I could try teaching again.

I'm returning to the classroom this month teaching Kindergarten. I have a training session tomorrow and start working on my classroom afterwards. Maybe because it's becoming more real now, but I've been dealing with anxiety this whole weekend.

I'm doubting myself. It's a new school, new administration, new everything. I know it's going to be hard and I wonder if I can keep myself grounded.

I take 100 mgs of Zoloft for my anxiety and it's the one medication that has helped the most. Not sure if I should ask my doc to increase the dosage.

I am currently doing yoga and meditating every day to help, I know I shouldn't but I also have a glass of wine or beer to also calm me down as well.

I wonder what can I do when I feel anxious at work?
