Venting I work a dead end job while having social anxiety and depression, and to make it worse, I’m mocked by the employees and the boss

[Ravel]

the job is way too heavy, and I understand that they need to relieve the stress of the job with jokes, but why is it always me? The world really hates introverts. I get home so physically and mentally exhausted that I'm really reaching my limit. This world hates anyone who is different. I've never been this close to killing myself. Why are people so cruel? Why won't they leave me alone? I'm literally feeling a lot of anxiety right now and my depression is terrible. And when I get home I have no one to talk to. I'm completely alone. I keep telling myself that things will get better that good days will come, but they never do. Every day is just a big repetition of suffering

Go to HR and file a grievance about the bulling.

If that does not work, get it documented, then call a lawyer.

Hey. Is it possible for you to switch jobs?
If that is your "only" current concern for your mental health a job switch might be just the right thing!

Staying in that toxic environment will ultimately lead to even more pain.

While Walter has a good point of getting a lawyer involved this can be quite the nasty process that you have to be mentally ready for
I also completely understand that switching a job is not as easy as it sounds and there might be blockages for you that keep you from switching just yet.

If so, would you be so kind to elaborate why you hold that job dear?

I'm sorry for that, and I understand why you're on the edge. Nobody can promise you that things will get better, but there are things you can do to change this situation (even knowing that, without support, it's hard), described by users above. Anyway, I could relate to your vent.

I'm not sure if you're in an industry or position you're really into or just earning a paycheck, but as an introvert myself, I find working from home to be the best for me. I would rather make a little less money and stay home than dealing with co-workers and a commute. Either way, it sounds like time to update your resume and at least attempt to find a new job. No job is worth having to sacrifice your mental health.

It's the only job I managed to get. My plan was to try to hold on for at least six months, maybe a year, to save money and buy my piece of land. Other jobs require either previous experience or dealing with the public. in this one I work in a warehouse, so I only have to deal with unpleasant coworkers
