Professional Consult: Dear Matthew737, Certainly, job stress can be a cause of “bad anxiety” and “a little depression.” There also could be other contributing factors. I suggest consulting a licensed mental health professional (clinical psychologist or psychiatrist) to assess your level of anxiety/depression and make recommendations to manage it. Remember, you still have the option to change jobs in the future if need

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Use your strength: Challenges provide opportunities for growing stronger. Welcome them and break them down into manageable parts. The issues you face are lower on the priority list than your own well-being, so keep that straight as you work toward resolution. You're in charge of you so solve your problems by making the changes that are in your best interest overall.
