Illinois teacher commits suicide citing working conditions

23. It is too bad that she thought that she had no options beyond working at that school

Having recently left a workplace that was damaging to my mental health, I know what it is like to feel sadness and anxiety over one's work. Certainly, some people are more sensitive to certain conditions. I think though it is very human to feel upset in response to some situations. Leaving might actually be a better long term solution than medication or counseling.
Leaving presents new problems, especially in this economy. Public healthcare would have given some help, especially if she was thinking about getting mental health help. I don't know how supportive her parents were in life and whether they would have been willing to help her out if she would have lost her job or left instead of killing herself.
