I deeply understand. With me, its the same. I will be a teacher some day. And as I am doing a work placement in uni at the moment, I really have to think about the student-teacher relationship.Technically, I am still a student at university at home in Germany. But at the same time, I am also 25 years old now. And students at Aston University who come to the conversational classes I teach in Birmingham are just 19. So on the one hand.. I bond with them. On the other hand.. they are just so young.
I guess, to let your students know about your emotional life isn't half so ba.d As your post shows.. it will always depend on both sides and whether a class is understanding or not. But it does not do the trick to play a role.. When you feel depressed, you're depressed. And telling students about that will at least be honest :)
After working for two of my friends I know all about mixing up personal and professional life - it is a dragon with lots of heads - not easy to handle at all ;(
Is there fixing in sight, concerning the bf?
Sorry, to hear that you are sick! I send lots of love, hot tea, tight hugs and comfy food!
