Re: Crossroads

Hi CoolBreeze,
I am also not stage IV but I think all of the folks who have answered have made very good points. I agree with chemteach (I am a teacher too but at the university level) that it is really valuable and spirt lifting to be doing something one loves and is good at (and appreciated for). I would find out what type of accommodations can be made regarding your work schedule (it is often the case that something flexible can be worked out) and also see how you feel. There is something very good about structure- having someplace to be and something to do- that helps keep the distracting or negative thoughts at bay. So, I would lean towards trying to stay involved with your school if you are able to. All of this depends on a lot of things, including how strong you are and how flexible the school is, but I know how important structure and being appreciated/needed can be! Good luck with your decision.
