how can things feel so wrong

I am a teacher, and a student today told another teacher that I slapped her across the face.  I didn't, I wouldn't ever do something like that.  I am so scared that she may have told either other teachers or other students.  Either way this could destroy my career if anyone believes her.  I really don't need this added to everything else.  I am feeling so frustrated and alone right now.  I am just tired of feeling like everything is a major thing regardless of how big it is.  I just want it all to go away and be happy again

Nip this in the bud by reporting to the head.

Like all stories, it will need to be corroborated with evidence (witnesses, arguments, or any confrontation), so I'd recommend being proactive to avoid this blowing out of proportion through rumours if left unresolved.

Then you can rest easier knowing you have been upfront (which can only aid your cause) and, if blameless, then the process should clear your name and restore confidence in the support network.
