Overworked, Under Appreciated, and Depressed
I don't know what to do. Work is becoming very unbearable. I am becoming angry, depressed and feel cornered. I am a recovery alcoholic. I have a sponsor, attend meetings, work steps, and practice principles in my life. I have a wife and kids I am responsible for. Right now I am hurting so much I feel like cutting, not suicide, just to hurt in a different way. I have been direct with my coworkers and I am not getting any support and I am being left being the only one working long hours sometimes all night. I know changing jobs is an idea, but right now I have a major project due Monday morning and I am responsible to that client to get it done. I feel really taken advantage of. Everyone else is at home with their families and I am left working, not spending time with mine. My boss seems to praise those around me who do just enough to show face and get paid and I don't get that pat on the back. Honestly I really don't want it. It would be nicer if e everyone else was doing their part and we worked as a team. Right now I am the team. Today I have really wrestled with anger, hurt, depression and I have had many moments where I am almost at a breaking point of just walking away from my job. I don't know what to do. I do suffer from major depression and I am bipolar. Unfortunately I don't really get any mania, just depression. I do see professional help for it, but I keep having these moments, where this is too much for me and I it is all too unbearable. I am almost broken to a point where I am scared and confused.

My brother has schizophrenia. He is 22 and I am 16. My parents know I smoke weed. They say if I smoke weed I am more likely going to get the same disease as my brother. I am not sure if they are full of it or not. They are always trying to scare me away from weed and drinking and stuff. But the idea of getting schizophrenia actually does scare the crap out of me. If I smoke weed am I in more danger? I have already smoked like 500 times. Is there any point in stopping now after I have already smoked so much?
