This job is making me severely depressed. I feel a strong sense of dread each day before work, I wake up with anxiety and I take double my dose of anti-depressants to help me make it through

That’s not the right job for you. I’ve had jobs like that and life is too short to wake up with that feeling every day. Time to start looking for another position. Remember that you work to live, you don’t live to work.......good luck in your search.

Ey op I am so sorry. I know the feeling. I have anxiety had periods of depression. Went to therapy and was on medication which helps. Biggest change was a transfer to another group and now leaving public accting. Life is short so if you feel you need to get out do it. Listen to your gut. Everyone should go or have a career where they feel good about themselves and successful

I feel like I don’t know anything and that I’m a very slow worker. It’s not that I’m not trying, it’s that accounting isn’t clicking for me (even though I have my masters in accounting and CPA), so it’s a huge struggle every day. I’m thinking I need to change careers so I don’t get myself fired or laid off somewhere down the road. I just feel like I wasted so much of my life, and I’m so jealous of the people around me who are happy and not worried about work like I am..

Good for you knowing what makes you unhappy. Make list of tasks you e joy and other happy moments from work. Now brainstorm roles that have more of those so you can go to right next role
