I seriously think you need to find a different job. The environment we live in has a huge effect on our mental health - whether it's our family, job, community, religion. I spent too much time reading political news and commentary and the stupid anonymous posters that make idiotic comments. Even that can leave me so depressed or so angry or so fearful.

You need a wholesome work environment - both the work and your coworkers should be pleasant.
