You know..I think that we occasionally take time to re-evaluate our lives..what made us happy and fulfilled doesn't do it anymore..Sounds like you were a hard working person who reached his goal and now you are ready to move one to something else..Many of us sacrifice and put ourselves second or third to achieve and then although successful feel we have missed something in our lives..Take a breath..think about yourself and what is missing our what you would like to do for you now..go for it..also thinking about your age.. Many of us re-evaluate ourselves from time to time...it's normal...

NORMAL> GOOD IDEA
BUT WAIT YOU HAVE A FEW MORE DAYS TO GET THROUGH, students depend on you
their lfe is in balance
absent self from weekend, and evenings, be quiet
am 40ish, but is a good idea at any age
yes rest and retreat is a way to regenerate yourself,
I am at this phase right now too after trying so hard to do alot against adversity
listening to silence lets other things in that you were too busy to see/feel
as a computer, a body needs time to process
also come out better, REST
do not feel bad about a few days REALLY OFF, alone and quiet
see students off 1st
something went wrong?

If you are crazy than I am too. We are the same age. I do get tired of dealing with other peoples issues. It is not unusual for people of our age to look for a career change. If you can't do that at this point I suggest you look for things that bring pleasure to you in small ways. Block out time to put the wind back into your sails.

oh so very normal, i've just been thru some awful times, picking myself up time and time and time again. So many times wondered what am i doing wrong. I'm 49 F and for the first time on my own,so much fun, no one to say, oh you don't want that, you don't need that, don't think like that, etc. this is bliss, a whold new feeling, embrace it, be open and strive for just plain fun,if it isn't move on life is just too short

I turned fourty in may and it didnt bother me but i quite often think about `running away`mind my kidz are only two and four so i would have to pack way too much stuff!if u stop everything boredom will set in !if you carry on but buy yourself a nice weekend retreat somewhere where noone knows you then you could live two seperate lives.go wild at weekends and conform mon-fri you can spend all week planning your weekends.now im totally depressed but a girl can dream! cant she!good luck!

Why should you not have feelings at 'this age'? It sounds like your life, although you are successful and have lots of material things, is empty. Look at what you have lost and what you have 'gained'.................
To feel how you are feeling is 100% natural - but you sound lost...Sell the school, free your mind and go find yourself again - have fun, smile, sit on a beach and watch the sun go down....time is precious - go do whatever makes you happy...
Good luck ......

You need time to yourself sell the school and go to one of those spa's that treat you like a queen for a couple of weeks.

NORMAL
you sacrificed a lot, and expected more than you got in return. take a leap of faith. although in your case, that's going to be a chore in itself. you could sell everything and pack up and move. like me. i'm going to the army though. but the nature of it i mean. the bohemian nature. that's what i am a bohemian!!!
