Two bouts of anxiety, panic attacks and clinical depression (expressed as physical manifestations) while working in the Education Sector spoke volumes to me about how any person can "care too much" and should the only means of efficacy available is to walk away - then that's the route a person takes. It's unfortunate that awareness and empathy no longer seem a required skill set in workplace leadership.
An Educational career is not about being "adult" , "stoic", or a "team player", it's about completing the mission of Education: to identify students' needs (deficits in reaching success as an adult being) and helping students fulfill those needs in their own time and ways. By the way, great Educators are always Students.
