Sorry I don’t have any real experience or advice but it seems you’ve got headaches, period stuff and struggling with eating. That’s quite a lot especially when other people aren’t supportive, could you speak to a counsellor? Might be worth getting a place to offload (and there’s us lot here if the MT is triggering) it doesn’t sound like you’ve got all the support you need (hardly a day goes by someone doesn’t “blame” me some how for not doing enough/doing too much to “fight” my fatigue, it’s not actually entirely my fault it’s a medical problem but yeah....that’s hard to deal with)

ETA- I have a hospital book. I write down what am want to say and any relevant background before I go (in my case I can’t actually talk sometimes) having it all in one book, prepped, helps. I can write down what they tell me too.

Thank you so much for taking time to reply and for everyone being tolerant. Looking at it on screen it does seem a lot !

Get through tomorrow and then work on 2) I think.

Can’t do anything about 1) so just hang in there!!!

I love this place

The book sounds really good- I going with notes tomorrow.

I know they mean well but with things like headaches and fatigue, I know it is so hard to understand what others are going through.

If the food thing doesn’t improve soon, I am going to see someone. I think the issue is , I have a background in Psychology so think I know it all, which I obviously don’t.

Thank you so much

I don;t think it "looks like a lot" (without sounding patronising!) it IS a lot, from the outside it is just much more obvious how much it is, I think especially women we are basically taught to downplay things, especially health related things and then also in the midst of it you don't see it clearly anyway. No advice as such (sorry) but just wishing you the best

It has taken 2 hours, plus being wrapped in a fleecy blanket to warm up. Another day of supply teaching in a freezing cold classroom. I know it needs to be done, but it was

Well they're supposed to for ventilation and covid but the children complain and the staff dont like the cold . The majority of the time they'll be closed
Even in the dinner hall in the summer I opened the doors , the children complained especially if there was a slight breeze , we were all baking and one particular child exaggerated teeth chattering and refused to eat as he was so cold , we had to close them.

So happy you are covid free Sidey T… it must be a real weight off your mind… it is mad we are still in this so long after the first cases.

@Readingismyhobby, sorry about your coldness in the classroom. students just don’t cope with the cold do they? Can you take a warm drink with you?

Hope today wasn’t as cold for you. Although looking at the weather outside, I don’t hold out much hope.

Being really cold can stop you (and the students) being able to think clearly and write properly. I completely understand the issues surrounding ventilation but when it is this cold outside, it would be interesting to see what the ambient temperature is is in the classrooms (the heating broke in mine once and I had to use the Bunsens to get it above 9).

Sending warm thoughts.

Thanks for the warm thoughts. It was a Reception class, they were busy playing (or “learning through experience “, as it’s now called), chatting and practicing for the Christmas concert.
