I did decide that I needed to talk to the higher-ups about the situation, so I talked to my department head today. He came up with a solution that may or may not work, but at least there is a plan. This plan involves needing either an IA (instructional assistant) or my dept. head himself to come down to my room on a few days a week to cover. It may not work in the long run; I am afraid of people "forgetting" that they are supposed to cover me and my needing to spend part of each prep period finding them. However, at least I am not constantly on the verge of tears and I am no longer wishing I could buy Prozac over the counter.*
*Not a blithe antidepressant comment, but the truth. I spent part of the weekend Googling online depression checklists and measuring myself.

At least they are willing to accomodate your needs though, so that's pretty good. Hope it works out to be a good thing, Emano.
Yeah... that's something positive, at least. I hope it helps plenty.
And I'm glad you're feeling a bit more upbeat. *produces a bunch of flowers*
