11 signs that your job is making your life miserable

  • Every job has its ups and downs. But there can be a serious issue if your job is constantly downs, according to Amy Morin, the author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do."
  • If your job is dominating your every thought — particularly all of the things that have gone wrong, or all of the reasons you don't want to go — it can negatively impact your time away from work.
  • If something good happens at work, but you can still only see the negatives, your job may be taking an outsized toll on you.

Everybody has bad days at work. But if you dread waking up every Monday through Friday, or you regularly find yourself sitting at your desk on the verge of tears, you probably have a more serious problem on your hands.

Amy Morin, author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do," says a hostile work environment can cause people to be miserable and may, in some rare cases, even be linked with depression. The problem is, once you fall into that trap, it can be difficult to get out.

"Feeling down about your job can set you up for a self-perpetuating cycle by taking a negative toll on the way you think and the way you behave," she explains. "The more you experience negative thoughts and unproductive behavior, the worse you'll feel."

Here are 11 signs your job is ruining your life.
