Teaching feels soul sucking

...See more I’ve been a teacher off and on for 14 years.It was never my intention to teach, but was good at it and it’s what I always fall back on. I’m teaching again, although I told myself I wouldn’t do it again.But when I am struggling to find my next thing, everyone around me wants me to keep teaching because it’s stable and I’m good at it. I also want to be financially stable and feel like I’m too far in the wrong career to start over. I feel trapped. I spend everyday either becoming overwhelmed by the students’ emotions or I completely detach and am just apathetic about everyone, everything- teaching and life. I hate the person I am as a teacher. I just wish I had the courage to leave.
