Depressed & lost some of my self-confidence
Hello
I have been a preschool teacher for 17 years and I recently became unemployed. I was suspended and they did an investigation. I took a video of a student and sent it to a co-worker. The video wasn’t inappropriate. The co-worker reported me to supervisors. Long story short I was given two choices: resign and be able to collect unemployment or be fired with the chance of not being able to collect. I chose to resign. I’m not proud of my actions and I admit I made a mistake. I don’t believe what I did was so severe I should’ve been fired, but it is what it is. It has made me feel a lot of self-doubt. However, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I’m going back to get my masters in the fall, but I just wish the parting of ways would have been my choice not theirs. Anyway thanks for listening.
I think I understand what you're feeling. I finally got married to the woman I've been in love with for the past 24yrs. We weren't married 5mo before she told me she wanted a divorce. I have lost my self confidence and a lot of motivation. I thought I could work through it on my own but I realize I need more help.

I'm so sorry it happened this way. But I'm so impressed that you saw the silver lining. I really struggle with that. But you noticed that this is the end of one chapter and the beginning of a bigger one! Take this time between for you. More and more opportunities will open up. ☺️
Hello @goodHuman0217
This is a quote that I often share with my listeners that I hope you'll find helpful:
"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference."
Hope your situation approves soon.
