In comparison, I am often annoyed, and feel like am absolutely not mentally resilient. Even small unpleasant things pretty much ruin my day, I am almost always in a bad mood and feel grumpy and negative. Anything positive that happens has only a slight effect.

I feel stressed, despite actually having a lot of free time. I always feel like I need a vacation. I fantasize about just going away from civilisation so noone and nothing can bother me. I wanna sit in my own little cabin all by myself and just shut the world out. Whenever I can relax and do nothing, like in the evenings and weekends, I feel alright but during the week I'm just.... bleh.

I am not happy with my job, so I think that's a big part of this, but I don't know why I am suddenly so negative and can barely find joy in anything. I guess it sounds like depression, but it doesn't feel the way depression usually manifests for me.
Does the start of unhappiness with your job align with the beginning of your mood change? I suppose im just wondering, if perhaps that it's not only a big part, but the sole reason?

You also mention having depression. How does that usually manifest for you? Is there usually a discernible cause to it? Perhaps your depression and your job combines for a different manifestation than what you're typically used to?

And can you quit your job? What don't you like about it? If this has been going on for a while, perhaps seeking a proffesional is worth it?
