[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quit. There’s nothing wrong with taking antidepressants, but there’s also nothing wrong with leaving the situation making you depressed. Not everyone is temperamentally suited for teaching in 2019. You need to preserve your health. It is a physically and emotionally demanding career. Thousands of tiny decisions to make. Everyone a critic because they think they can do a better job. Loving kids is not enough to get you through 30 years. [/quote]

Quitting after 25 years is easier said than done. At that point one is too vested to just quit.[/quote]

Being vested in your health! Even with meds, long term anxiety and depression can have impacts on your heart, digestive system, and even epigenetic effects. Is it really worth the remaining 5 years if you then are too ill to enjoy your retirement?[/quote]

At 25 years I still had 8 years to go. I have 6 more now. Sure you should be vested in your health, but I still say it's easier said than done. One just can't quit.

What do you propose? Last year was my worst year hands down. Chest soreness and anxiety like crazy. I still think I'm recovering from it, but one just can't quit. At age 48 and well short of un-reduced retirement any pension payments would be minuscule. Talk about anxiety? There are still bills to pay. What then?[/quote]
