I am a teacher and there have been lots of changes at my school lately and I have a few meltdowns in the last few weeks.
This morning I was upset and asked to speak to the acting head abd she was horrible. Told me I need to pull myself together and snap out of it. When I walk through the door I need to be in work mode. I need to pull myself together. She said either I am fit to work or not and I should go to my GP if I keep having these "episodes".
I felt completely belittled and like a child who had been told off.
