Some people like their jobs. Many don't. It can be really hard to dislike your job - I don't love my work, but I'm proud when I do my work well. Most of the time, I feel unmotivated. Unless I have to interact with my boss - then I get triggered into a depressed/anxious state. I've been finding it hard to do my job the way it should be done in the last year or so. It's been harder than normal to concentrate on it and accomplish all I should (and all I've been able to in the past). A couple of years ago, I moved from 25 hrs/week to 30 hrs/week. That change - just an hour a day - has felt HUGE. If you can reasonably drop 2 hrs/week, see if that helps. Also, note that when you're depressed, things like work may just feel insurmountable to you. It does to me, but I can handle it a little better when I'm not depressed.

I'm sorry it's hard right now...
Thanks for this!
