Can you be depressed and still maintain a good level of productivity?

[Dontaaaa]

Alright, so I'm asking this question because everyday I feel like shit at the end of the day. I work basically everyday and I like to think I try to be as productive as I can. I just never really feel happy, at most I'm a meh and if I'm not a meh then I'm on the verge of like crying or some shit at the end of the day. Usually I never cry, but now I cry at least once a week at the end of the day. I'm going to assume it's due to stress since crying is a natural stress reliver and all. I guess I just build up stress throughout the week and I just let it all out then I feel better and just do it all over again.

Totally tmi, but I hardly care at this point.

I have a few ideas about this:

The first is, you can adapt to your job so that what used to be unbearable and hard becomes normal and second nature to you. Or you could get promoted so that you get easier responsibilities once you gain experience. They also have books that talk about different types of burn out such as how to deal with care giver burn out, they have videos that tell you how to rest your body or mind, some companies sell foot massagers. You could try buying specialty shoes that decrease foot pain or trying training your brain to take care of neuroplasticity. If possible, you could try to schedule 3 minute breaks or meditation sessions into your routine or do transcendental after you finish work, websites tell you how to do this for free. Reishi mushrooms can help if you have heart problems and Lions mane mushrooms can help if you have thinking problems or sleeping problems but you should not take the two together cause they will cancel each other out. I also believe you can lower depression by removing mood killers from your life, such as short term sex partners, alcohol use, immoral music, porn, friends who waste their money on drugs or gluttony etc.. And donating or volunteering or praying could boost your mood too. Crying at a new job is common, not 100% of people do it but many do, the thing is, you adapt and you get used to it.

You should come up with an exit plan involving a vacation, and upward mobility at a different job

Sounds like you're on track to burn out hard. You're in the warning phase.
