You are right to post and increase your watch on yourself.
As for your work, do you see a chance for increasing your grasp of your present role and gaining greater confidence in your own performance?

Thanks very much for answering. I had a full medical check last year and everything looked good. My vitamin D was a bit low, so I've been supplementing that ever since.
I don't know if I will get better in my present role, it's been three years and I've learned, but I know I should be further than where I am now.
I mean since I have been there, I've seen a lot of people leave for other places because it was too stressful where I am and they didn't want to deal with the crap, the pressure, and the stress. I talked with someone who just recently left and he basically said in his whole career he had never seen a place that was so stressful. He said that everywhere he was before he was a super star, model employee, but once he got here he felt right at the bottom of the totem pole.
I feel like it is slowly chipping away at me and destroying me... But, other opportunities aren't opening up and I can't imagine just quitting and I don't want to have to take another leave.
