Good luck Apathy123, I hope the new job comes through for you!
I think you've already gotten a lot of really great tips, CANDC posted some really excellent information.
I've been struggling too, and one thing that helps me is to break my work tasks down into smaller tasks, and to focus on getting those done. It sounds simple, but if I don't make an effort to do this, I find myself easily overwhelmed (which causes me to procrastinate, which means I get nothing done and feel worse.)
I also will use some personal time (Saturday) to get things done if I need to. I'm not sure if that works for you, and I'd rather not do it... but when I was feeling really miserable, I just wasn't getting anything done during the week. Being able to stealthily catch-up on Saturday let me get things done for Monday, which was a big help in not getting on my boss' bad side!
(But I don't recommend it every weekend... you need time to rest too!)
*good luck*
