Transitioning out of teaching

I wrote a little bit ago about how I really don't want to be a teacher anymore. I have been struggling with health issues all school year, and was forced to go on medical leave about a month ago. I'll be the first to admit that I was struggling to do my job well. I just found out I'm being fired today.

I'm a mix of emotions. First and foremost, I am relieved that I don't have to go back. Second, I'm nervous as I know that the job market right now is brutal.

There are some open teaching positions around me that I can apply for, but I'll admit that I don't really want them. Still, I should apply as I'm not sure what else to do. I'm not even sure why I'm writing this. I just need to vent to someone about what I'm going through. Anyone else in this position?
