Me too! By Also a teacher

I also take Zoloft - for anxiety and social anxiety disorder. I take Valium too (for tachycardia - a rapid heartbeat. It goes abnormally fast).

I'm not ashamed and several of my friends who are counselors told me they "see tons of teachers in their office because of the stress."

I believe we have the most stressful jobs of all. It's tragic that we're so underpaid and not valued.
