I’m not doin well at all these days. I take my medication, I try to leave the house, I try to do my job, I try to connect with people…. But it hasn’t helped. This feels like suffering and it’s awful and I hate it. I want to feel like myself again and I can ID steps to maybe resolve some things but that’s no guarantee.

I feel bad all over. Like my relationships with my own body and brain are all out of whack. It helps that I’m not alone (even tho I hate that anyone else would ever feel this way). Hopefully, you know you’re not alone either.

RE: Therapy
I’ve had therapists before and only 3/7 (or however many) have been helpful. I don’t want to go through the bullshit of going to find a therapist again. My insurance prefers “time controlled” therapy, anyway (short-term, you’re sick, now congratulations you’re better). I’ve been like this the whole time. I agree therapy could help, but it’s on the list of “things I can do to resolve this” but that list is a marathon and I’m having a hard time getting out of bed.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight regarding substitute teaching for NTPS. Mostly, what your experiences were like, etc. I’m interested in pursuing it as just a supplement to my current non-teaching job.

I’d prefer to sub in high school classes, but I understand being able to be selective in that way might not be an option. I have a master’s degree, but it’s not in teaching, so I’m sure there will likely be some additional hoops to jump through.

TIA! ☺️

Hello!

I’m currently employed at a state agency and I just finished my MA in Econ less than 6 months ago. I’ve been looking at postings but there doesn’t seem to be anything explicit in my field.

I’m hoping to learn a little more about relevant job titles that would be looking for a master’s degree like mine in the qualifications and what other qualifications would be helpful (certs in tableau, python, power BI, etc). Agencies to keep an eye on would be great, also.

Please note- a lot of folks tend to conflate economics and accounting… I would really prefer to stay away from accounting work. I’m down with budget, projections, research, etc. I’ve done state accounting jobs so I have some background, but I don’t want to pursue that as a career.
