TLDR; Should I get a shitty job not in my field for the time being till I find my dream job close to home to avoid mental anguish or stick it out? I will post the full story in the comments.

'm a veterinary technician at a specialty clinic that does rehab and Chinese medicine. I love the feild I work in and have a deep passion for the animals I work with, however I am experiencing severe burn out because of the way the doctor at my practice treats us. Yesterday me and a colleague were yelled at for essentially not having a duplicate of ourselves to accomplish the plethora of tasks she wanted done ASAP and completing the tasks of our assigned duty station that day. I also work over an hour from home and I have been trying to find a new job close to home but it seems impossible. I have started thinking about getting a couple of part time jobs to be able to quit this one.

I'm so sorry you feel this way. I feel the same way. The practice I work at went from having 14 employees to just 3. 2 techs and a receptionist. It's been really hard to deal with somedays. We are having to do surgeries everyday and appointments. Then told we aren't making/doing enough. When we are literally doing all we can. I love the animals, other people I work with and the clients. I see we are all so tired though. I wonder if I should get into a completely different type of job. This is all I know how to do though. And other people say the market is really tough right now!

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
