Hello. I had a d/c in the beginning of July, and am just now starting to feel better emotionally - more like myself again. I still have a hard time seeing pregnant women, babies, or children. I get jealous and just plain sad. (This was my first pregnancy.) The problem with that is that I'm a teacher - third grade. I go back next week, and I'm so scared to be around the kids all day every day. I just don't know if I can handle it. But I really don't have a choice. I'm usually very excited to go back around this time. I love my job, and am always excited to get back to it. This year I'm just plain dreading it. It sounds terrible, but I just don't want to meet these new kids. I don't want to know anymore kids right now... Ugh. And I don't want them to have to suffer because of how I'm feeling, but I'm not sure I can be a good enough actor. I mean, I know I'll be ok and do my job and teach these kids. I just don't think I'll be able to get attached as I usually do, and I'm afraid they'll suffer because of it. Is anyone else a teacher? Have you had to deal with this, or are you going to have to? I could really use somebody to talk to about it... Thanks.
