thanks for the encouragement, everyone. as the next class approaches i'm getting panicky all over again. i've been doing CBT lately, so i know what i'm struggling with is beliefs that i don't know anything, i don't know what i'm talking about, i'm not a good teacher....i feel like my biggest problem right now is that my anxiety is actually getting in the way of me *preparing* for class. i'm procrastinating like crazy.
i think i also just need to say 'out loud' that i don't want to be teaching right now. there's really no way to get out of it, and part of me knows it will be fine, but right now i really, really don't want to be in front of a classroom. it feels totally and utterly wrong.
then again, i felt pretty good last week...so i don't know what is going on. sheesh, i'm kind of all over the place. must be hitting my sleep-deprivation stride with the new semester. coffee anyone?
take care,
philyra
