Pressure and tensions have become so common here and people are having to get used to it in order to endure the whole situation until they manage to find a new job. However, lately I have been finding it harder to bear the pressure. Running was once my favorite way to relax from work, but since I had an injury, it’s no longer an option. Stress continues to accumulate and I just don't know how much longer I can last here.

I don't know why there are all the down votes on your post. Stress is real. Talking about it helps and I'm glad you posted here. I had to leave earlier than I intended due to serious anxiety issues that ultimately affected me physically. I'm trying to get by with much less financially now but it's much better than leaving there in a box.
