Hi everyone! I gotta say, the more I get to know my students the more I enjoy getting to teach them. Some are starting to test the limits a bit, but that is to be expected. I had a good counseling session today. It was pretty low key because I am still feeling pretty stable and did not have anything trigger me between appointments. We mainly noted that I seem to becoming tuned in to my emotions.

One think I am keeping an eye on are some depression symptoms and my lack of motivation to eat. Eating, more than anything, feels like a chore right now. I'd rather just spend my day drinking coffee, flavored water, or sparkling water...

@buddha1too I teach a mix of elementary and middle school. Two of my subjects are taught to middle schoolers and then I also assist in a 3rd subject at the elementary level two class periods a week. I give you credit for teaching 11th and 12th graders! I don't mind working with high schoolers in a youth group setting, but my teaching skills are better suited for middle school and under. I feel I teach best with 6th graders or younger.

@Aurelius I hope your mom is doing better since her fall!

@Rasberrytorte Happy belated birthday!!

@Nammu I'm sorry for your loss.
