[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2363041, member: 520947"] I totally identify with how you are feeling,as you say it's the uncertainty. I also felt angry at feeling I was constantly having to explain and justify risk. From working in the private sector I was on to a non winner,basically nice words but you are a number. They wonder why they cant keep staff! By September I told the Union rep I'd had enough. On one occasion hed asked me what I wanted and I had replied just to be treated fairly and with respect. By the September I just wanted not to have to fight what seemed a pointless battle for a job I didnt want to go back to! I think there is hope in your case,schools although not perfect do consider the health of there staff in a way the private sector dont. The news that you will soon be having vaccine is also brilliant. Although have to wait for protection to build and still have to be careful it's a game changer. The relentless uncertainty is awful. We dont know what they are going to do about the furlough scheme,last week there was talk of extending it until September. This week they have also said the economy is not as badly affected as they thought it would be. It's an incredibly hard thing to do but all you can do is live in the moment. The situations that are causing you so much stress are beyond your control. You have done all you can by contacting the Union and employers. Things may very well all work out ok. If there are issues you can tackle as arise. Meanwhile try and focus on things that distract you and you enjoy. Mindfulness Apps can help. As I say its difficult when everything is so overwhelming, but this will end and things will get better. [/QUOTE]
