Dropping out

One of "my" students emailed today saying that he was dropping out of the Ph.D. program. He said he started having severe anxiety attacks and he could no longer handle the overall lack of direction in his life. And, at times like this I understand why often my life feels so hard, and that not dropping out is actually a major feat and I should feel proud, even if I mostly feel adrift.
