Hi All,

Just checking in. Today seems a little better. I gave my 2-weeks notice. I just hope I'm not making a huge mistake.

I am sure this was a scary thing to do and I wish you only the very best with your new job. Even positive changes can trigger manic or depressive episodes, so keep an eye out for these symptoms and talk to us and your counselor about them. You have come so far, even when you have been scared to take these steps. Be proud of all you have accomplished!!!!!!

Hugs!!!!

Thanks everyone. Heidi, yes, my notice to resign from my school bus job. I am now down to my final two days, and it is really getting hard to keep it together. I have had this job for 11 years, and many of the parents have been with me for a vast majority of that time, so I am not only leaving the kids (which is hard enough), but I'm also leaving friends I've made over the years. But, the new job gets my foot in the door on my new career path of social work, so I have to take it.

Hey Foggy,

I guess when we have been in a job a long time, we find that it feels safe because it is all so familiar to us.

Thanks Promise,

Today was definitely an emotionally draining day, as it was my last day. But as sad as it was, I was also reminded many times over throughout the day how many lives I have touched over the past 11 years. It is hard leaving the familiar to embrace the new. But I know I have to do it if all this education I have is going to do me any good. I'm trying to stay positive about all this, but it's hard. So this weekend I'm going to throw myself into my finals and taking the next right step - hopefully.
