Hi all, I have posted here in the past about my total burnou
t from teaching. Last year I was involuntarily transferred from
rom the High School level to a middle school SDC class. To say t
ay this year has been hell would be a understatement. I have nev
never been so miserable in my life. I am barely hanging on.

My retirement date will be my 55th birthday in September.

Can anyone who also experienced severe burnout give me some
mental tips on how to get through these last 6 months? I alw
ays thought it would be "gravy" once I got to the end stages
of my career, but I still dread every day, still count down
each day and think of literally nothing else except leaving
the classroom forever.
