Being laid off is hard in the best of circumstances but with your other stressors, no wonder you feel like you are going nuts. But before you DO go nuts, start looking into finding someone one on one you can talk to as you go through this stress.

I've been through some god-awful stress in my life and the only thing that prevented me from completely losing it was that I was in therapy. Even with a bunch of caring people around me, I still felt isolated so keep talking to people as you go through this.

Another note: I am also a teacher but I have never set foot in a class room (since grad school). I work in more of the social services arena so that is also a place where people with Education backgrounds find work. Not sure if it helps but there are options, just hard to see them when we are in crisis.

One thing I've learned when I am in real crisis is that it will be ok and is never as bad as we think it is going to be
