The cause of the problems seems to be.

Every day I go to work miserable or I'm at home on the weekends, miserable.

I can't get out.

No one tries to get to know me.

My kiddos don't respect me.

Every day I'm exhausted and for what

The ability to do it all again.

Nothing is making me happy anymore and any joy I find is fleeting.

I don't know what's going on.
Swampy what subject do you teach?

While I don't have experience in this field myself, I understand the stress that can come from teaching an Elementary School class, Swamp: it's not easy because of how young the kids are and how much they are still growing.

What kind of lessons are you giving them? Are they lessons you believe they would be engaging to them?

sounds like its mostly the job. Being a teacher is a thankless job sometimes and you are taking the jobs stress home with you thus the job is taking over your life and you cant enjoy it anymore

I seriously considered killing myself today.

I probably won't but, it scared me.

If you hadn’t just graduated I would have recommended maybe considering a career change.

Sometimes you find yourself desiring one thing, and then realizing that it’s not as great as you’d want. Do what you love. However I know you really wanted to be a teacher, but maybe you should try teaching different grades or schools if your offered.

Sadly a lot of work places are miserable. As for the other problems, maybe try to get people to know you. Sure it sucks when your ignored(trust me out of like 30 people on my phone, only 1 person actively cares to text and talk without me initiating. And that’s something I like to say, makes me feel like I impacted someone.)

As for getting out, why can’t you? I’m guessing busy grading and all that? Which if so maybe you can find a good system to balance time to get out.

I hope your able to find some good in your daily life, I’m sure it will get better in time, it’s just a hard time period for you right now. You would be missed deeply here and no one wants to see you harm yourself. There’s never any good that comes out of that option. Your just going to need strength to continue. And while that may be hard in real life, everyone is always here to support you irl. So please stay safe and strong.

Ah. Kids are hellish. You do possess a certain advantage though in that your interests in games and other youthful things can connect you to them in a way that the typically older teachers are unable.

I know when I was in elementary school, I was always more engaged when an art project was involved in it.

Well I've been wordcounting each time and I think this puts me back up to pace for my writing, at least.

R8 out of 8?
Woomy Goes To Cracker Barrel said:
"What up rednecks!" She screamed at no one in particular as she slammed open the glass door with a light thonk.

The guy behind the counter didn't even flinch, he worked in retail so he was kind of used to this carp. He still visibly kind of wanted to die inside, but eh who doesn't anymore. A child stuffing his nose full of fake sand at a toy display was abruptly dragged off by his concerned mother, who was mouthing something about him "catching the liberal" and crossing her heart over a Make America Great Again pendant. An entire shelf full of dancing reindeer covered in "Try Me!" stickers seemed to topple over in unison in the mere presence of the newcomer. Even the rack full of commemorative license plates shook and shuddered in her slimy, hyper-enthusiastic presence.

Woomy had arrived, and she craveth pancakes.

"So this is Cracker Barrel." She said in the most faux serious voice she could pretend to manage, attempting to spoon a statue of Uncle Sam without knocking it over.

"I know this is a chain restaurant, but don't you think it deserves a little more dignity than this?" Asked a somewhat beleaguered Rock walking in behind her. "I mean, it has a gift shop and everything! I kind of wanted to look through it, too. Um, without it being destroyed, I mean."

"Git R Doooooone!!" Woomy screeched as she leapt off the statue and started to run across the room, ignoring him entirely.

The off duty Super Fighting Robot looked towards the cashier with a pained expression met with more than a little bit of sympathy in return.

"I am so sorry, sir." Rock said.

"It's alright. The past few times something like this happened no one even took the time to care." Said the cashier weakly.

Meanwhile the offending Woomy had temporarily settled down to slip on a pair of display headphones and listen to the various songs loaded onto a CD kiosk. Seemingly dissatisfied with each choice she came across, she clicked through each sample song on the display fairly rapidly, taking only a few seconds at a time to listen to each song. At last a sour expression crossed her face, and she set the headphones back onto the display dissatisfied.

"Why does all the music here suck?" She asked the cashier.

"He's a minimum wage worker, Inkling. He doesn't get to pick what they sell here, he just sells it. . ." Rock said uncomfortably. "That's probably something a regional staff member handles. Besides, I thought you liked country?"

"I like Celtic Rock. I don't know what the fresh hell that was, but it ain't music I know that." Woomy said.

The cashier was visibly shrinking behind his desk at this point. An old man looking at wall ornaments glanced aside awkwardly and took as subtle a swig of the flask of alcohol hidden in his coat as he could manage. A middle aged couple offered a disapproving glare at the uncultured child and waddled out of the establishment, the woman scratching between her butt cheeks as she left.

I don't know much about your situation, but from what I can gather, you're involved in some kind of teaching job.

I have some experience in that. I was an SNA at a school for Special Needs & Autism, a little over 2 years ago. I also did some bus escorting for them.

It was definitely a difficult job at first. Trying to figure out the individual quirks of each child, the nature of their disabilities, stopping them from killing themselves/each other out of sheer blissful ignorance, finding the balance in the amount of affection I can reasonably show them when they seem to need it, dealing with very difficult students...there were a lot of challenges. I also wasn't really getting paid before I took the bus escort position as I was doing work experience (though they did pay me if I subbed in for absent SNAs).

Despite how tough and daunting it was at first, I did get comfortable and get the hang of things. It actually got to a point where teachers were having small arguments with each other over who needed my assistance more, since I didn't have a set class. That was super surreal to me, as I don't have a high opinion of myself.

So if there is one thing you can take from this - things don't stay the same. You will improve. The kids will simmer down. Not all relationships start on the best footing, but it's up to you to try and connect with these kids. It's not going to be easy, but if I could connect with kids who had mental and physical impairments and handle them appropriately in spite of my awkward and less-than-charming personality, I'm sure you can manage mainstream kids with your more down-to-earth personality.

If all else fails, it's OK to take a break and pursue something different. Work burnout can happen, even within a short period of time. Source: I'm currently going through it myself.

Whatever the reason was that made you consider such a thing, just remember its not worth it.

*hugs really, really hard*

I'm sorry I don't have some perfect solution to make everything better for you. If I did, I'd use them on myself first.

But I want you know, no, need you to know.

You're not alone here.

We're here to get to know you. Here to respect you. Here to care about you.

OK??

As someone with major depression themselves, and has tried committing suicide before. The best advice I can give is if this continues, find help. No seriously get help. Therapist, Psychiatrist, bring it up during a doctor's visit, I don't care how but get help. There is no better way for me to explain it.
I know for a lot of people depression and suicide are topics they aren't comfortable with, or worry if things will change because of bringing it up, but you would be doing more harm to yourself by not finding help.

While I do not have personal experience as a professor, I do know what both my parents went through when they started their careers, especially when they moved to a completely new city in a different state.
It's hard and miserable at the start but after sometime, you'll start to feel right in. Try making friends with the other teachers, that's, like, 90% of my parents' friends and you'll likely be spending a lot of time with them so hey, why not?
In regards to your students, yeah, it might be hard to get children to respect you but try to remember what were the teachers you used to like the most and why you liked them so much. Put yourself in the children's place and ask yourself what teacher you'd want to have.
Random thought, how do you think the FEH fandom would react if the next banner really is crssdressing male units?
80% trap fetishization, 19% homophobic reactions(no wait those are the same thing) and 1% genuinely happy about it.

R8 out of 8?
Couldn't stop smiling, until I imagined what would happen when she discovered the candy section.

Fresh/8.

Also at the risk of summoning Chiko's wrath I think I need a Celtic Rock refresher.

Looking back at my old E3 BINGO sheets from 2011 to now, I couldn't find my 2016 one.

But then I remembered I didn't make one that year because that was when Nintendo said 90% of their show was going to be about Breath of the Wild.

a teacher is kinda a crappy job, but even then its still an important one no matter how thankless

reading through things here it sounds like ya need a lotta stress off your mind, relax and get things out dude

might be wise to relax or unwind as soon as possible, and discard a lotta burdan put on ya

don't have ya job kill ya, teachers take a lotta flack and horrors, but damn is it an important and amazing position to do

get some down times, open on up, get out of the bubble for a bit and head on back with a fresh head

seriously though if ya wanna talk private katts doors are always open dude

Try making a friend, that will help. I think you have a better chance at making friends than I do.
Also if you want joy.... save money for stress removers like vacations or new games, or new books.
I really hope you get better from your situation soon.

Yeesh. Those kids can be hard to control, but you need to discipline them if they are acting nuts. Call the principal even.

Don’t know what seems to be going on. But I will say this Swamp.

You are a great guy who’s not only a driving force for here, mod or not, but also someone who likes to help others. Remember about how you wanted to reach out and help me? This naturist Australian smasher can’t thank you enough for your concern and kind words. And now is the part where I say that you matter quite a lot as a person. And I am happy that you are still with us.

*hugs*

Want to hear something funny?
Arms are usually sore after getting a shot, and I got two on both shoulders on arms.
They were sore for a bit, and the pain went away very quickly. I feel normal.

Oh man, this whole year is going to blow up my wallet up and down. I thought this year would be a bit barren as 2017 was a fantastic year for gaming, but more and more games that I want keep being announced for 2018. Ughhh.
Yeah these recent years have made me so compelled to buy games than ever before.

In the years past, there was only like 1 or 2 games that I really wanted to buy every year.

My birthday is coming in a little less than four weeks.
When it hits, please do not refer to me as a child or at least minimize your thinking that I am a child.
