I suffer from depression.. I'm at work now and inside I'm falling apart. I pretend I'm using the restroom because I want to cry all the time.
The people I work with are toxic, so I can't confide in them.
Just don't know how to cope right now 😕
I think you are probably in need of immediate medical attention. Your depression may be 100% related to your actual situation, but nevertheless, there are medications which can make you feel better and lift your dark, hopeless mood while you have therapy to help you overcome this depression. Or maybe medication will be enough. Some depressions are merely a chemical imbalance in the brain In either way, get yourself into treatment ASAP! Why should you suffer with this?
Welcome to the workforce and how most people feel. Kind of awkward that we design and maintain a society most of us dislike.
As for dealing with it? The penultimate answer is probably that you should not have to and to find something else where you will not feel that way. Rather than adapting to bad circumstances, find new and better ones.
Some psychiatry of course does not hurt. Who abive 20 and below 60 does not secretly, or openly, need that?
I go through the same thing - coffee is my support at work. I also focus all on my work to distract it’s hard but works. If you are not happy with your job to take time find one that you would enjoy don’t rush. Also look into support after work like councillors. Please take care.

Depression is tough and requires counseling and medication. It's not something you can "get over". The best advice for now is to do opposite action. Basically force yourself to do the opposite of what you're feeling until you can get some therapy and meds. Take some stress off yourself by only doing what you absolutely have to and not taking on additional responsibilities.
Have you talked to a doctor? And perhaps you should start looking for a new job.
