<prompt> Human: Thanks for all the advice from everybody on this post. Its really great to hear from others who have been in this situationhave experience with these issues. Your advice has really reinforced how urgently we both need to make changes. Ill be doing my best to accelerate this process a little more by looking for new work for the both of us. All of your comments are great and much appreciated!edit: I realise now that this post isnt appropriate for this subreddit, I apologise for that and I appreciate everybody who gave their advice regardless. I suppose Im not sure exactly what Im expecting as a result from posting this. But I thought it was worth a shot because Im feeling helpless and getting a little desperate. Basically, like I wrote in the title, my boyfriend is struggling with depression that is a direct result of his current job. He works as an unsworn officer at a police station dealing with the general public. As you can assume, its not the most glamorous role. Almost every person who walks into the station is already emotionally charged before he even gets a chance to try to help them. Theres also little to no appreciation for him from his superiors. Hes a genuine guy and a fiercely hard worker. Regardless of being his girlfriend or not, I know this for sure. He often stays late after work to finish his jobs, whereas the other members of his team just boot the work off wherever they can and head home. Management there is absolutely shocking to put it simply.Edit: I should mention here that Im not sure how his coworkers boot off the work.. But due to the nature of his job police a fair amount of the work is of high importance. He sometimes doesnt have the option to leave it for the next day. Some reports need to be logged regardless of the time. The job isnt mentally stimulating at all - which he hates. But its mentally taxing due to the high volume of angry customers directed to the front counter of the station. Over the past 6 months especially, all of this combined has made him angry at the general public, not myself, deeply sad, tired all the time and unable to enjoy any time he gets off work. Hes just very depressed. He earns about 70,000 AUD a year. Im employed casually within retail and earning 25,000 a year. I was working casually to focus on my goal of joining the police force. Im trying to focus on my fitness to pass the physical test. I feared that working full time would be a step back from where I want to be. I realise that this isnt realistic and Ive been seeking full time employment. However, Im finding it difficult to find anything that matches his wages that I would have the skills for. I could get promoted in my current job fairly easily. Id only be on about 40,000 a year and Im not a huge fan of my job right now, but thats the easy option. Our rent and bills per fortnight come to about 1100 on average. Thats excluding living money food etc which would be about 500 per fortnight. I want so badly for there to be a great solution to this problem. I know theres no miracle cure and likely well just have to wait it out until either one of us can get new jobs... but I just cant stand seeing him so down. I thought Id see if anybody has any advice, small or large. TL;DRBoyfriend hates his job, earns 70,000AUD a year. Im struggling to find full time work and currently working casually for about 25,000 per year. Is there any advice while we wait for better job prospects to arise?  <response>: my boyfriend is struggling with depression that is a direct result of his current job.

While its commendable that your boyfriend is so dedicated, this also makes him so vulnerable to what hes feeling now. Perhaps your boyfriend should try to work his hours, and no more. Go home when its time to go home, and try to take his mind off work, as well. He might consider talking to a psychologist or a coach, someone like that. At least until you or he has a new job.
