you sound very much like a good friend with whom i teach. she's at the end of her rope & it's starting to look as if she's not going to get offered a contract for next year.

i've offered her personal & instructional strategies, told her i'd take her to a doctor's appt. in order to have an assessment of her medication for depression & its effectiveness, given her a non-judgmental ear, etc. etc. and she just continues to spiral downward.

i'd really like to read any advice that fits into this thread!
