I’m so excited to find another high school teacher with BP! I teach Sociology and AP Human Geography. What do you teach?
I was off work for 10 days in the Spring due to being hospitalized for a manic episode. It was my first time. I’ve been able to teach since I got out and it was easier during the spring while I was still going through hypomania.... but it’s been a struggle this semester with depression... BUT I made it through and very proud of myself for being able to get everything done, teaching both virtual and in the classroom. AND a new subject this year that I am not very familiar with.... I keep telling myself that I can keep going. I have taught for 10 years. I don’t want to give up now and lose my retirement....
What about you? How long have you taught with BP. Does anyone at your school know you have it?
