cho-uc18841yI'm in a similar situation though I don't feel as hopeless as you.
What @NeatNerdPrime said is correct. Just stop caring. No need to fuss too much about something you can't change. Focus on what you can change. You said you have 1 year left. It's not that long. Then what's next? A new job, hopefully better? -
just take a pause. You need to take a vacation and take care of your hobbies.

jeeper58091yMake yourself exercise. Sweat. I know it’s lame but you need neuroplasticity to imagine a new path forward and this is an accessible way to get that

JsonBoa30141yI hated my job too. Then I figured that I can read and write in English, and that the world is really fucking big, so big that I could literally outrun my problems and go somewhere else entirely.
Now I'm in the weirdest side of the globe, on a new job, and my old problems look like stone age drawings, so surreal.
We're humans, we evolved to be travellers, hunter-gatherers. Leaving your problems behind has literal phisiological impacts.

Hi guys,
I don't really know where to begin so I'll just spew words and hope they make sense.
I was on an app called afterglow. Kind of an anonymous group therapy doo-hicky thing. I quite liked it. Then it closed. (Yes I've messaged the Devs, nothing)
I would rewrite it myself but I just CBA, which leads me to the main part.
I'm depressed. Severely. I won't go into details but I'm stuck in my job for a year, I has a repair and 3d printing sidehustle which I love, but my main job is fucking it up.
I'm not suicidal or SH, but I just wake up and wish I hadn't every morning.
How do you guys get yourself out of a rut?
P.s tell me to grow a pair, and I'll just take yours
