I'm a teacher and I've been so proud of myself for teaching in person everyday through this pandemic, even though I thought I was going to have to take a psychiatric leave because I couldn't get my agoraphobia under control before school started.

On Friday my principal called me into his office to tell me the administration feels I haven't shown enough growth in my time there, and to start looking for other jobs. I felt blindsided and so hurt. I keep replaying his words over and over in my head, even in my sleep and I just can't make it stop.
