So I am back at work now for the first time since my burnout but the school I have been sent to is off the charts, the kids are like feral beasts. (not all of them, theres some lovely ones)
Last week I had a rock thrown at my head, was cornered alone in the playing field by students threatening me, was challenged to a fight, had a kid threaten to stab my class with scissors and loads of other stuff
Thing is I want to keep going cos the staff are really supportive, I need the money for my family and another school could be just as bad, I could change and end up worse. Also working seems to be really helping my mental health and keeps the job centre off my back
Its especially tough though cos its the first time Ive worked since my burnout happened and Im hoping to ease my way back into work
So what Im asking is for some advice or coping strategies to help me get through tomorrow if its bad?
