One of the things to also consider is where you live and if you're effected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is a form of depression. It sounds like there's more going on than just your job, and you have to consider if your feeling about things have changed during the Winter.

It may be worth the effort of focusing on ways to improve your mood by exercising and spending time with friends to get you to a better state. That will let you think more clearly, have more energy for side projects, and seek out new employment or go out on your own.

There's usually a lot more going on with our mood than we initially think.

The feelings have been going on for about a year, though they have been getting worse lately. I think you have a valid point. Thanks for the feedback.
