Nikki,
I'm sorry to hear things are so tough. But don't give up. A new job does sound like a good next step. Getting away from unappreciative people and into a new environment can be helpful.
Several months ago I went through a very severe depressive period ... I ended up quitting my job and I found a new one. I became a receptionist. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to "take a break". I got into a new environment and took on a job with very little responsibility. The time I had in that position was mostly mine. I was able to do a lot of reading and other things I really enjoyed. When I started feeling a little more stable I looked in to moving up in my new company. And so far I have found my niche.
It's too bad that the company you have given so much too is not giving back to you. Talking to a career counselor is a great idea. I hope this helps a little ... know that you are not alone.

I don't even get paid overtime or anything for these extra days worked...
