I am so frustrated with my job. I am actually doing now what I am going to college for, and you would think that I would be happy, but I am not. I am miserable! Throw on top of that all the depression and other stuff and my life feels like a mess. I am trying I guess to lean on the Lord, but I get so frustrated, angry, and stressed that I can't think straight. I have pretty much hated every job I have had. I am 22 now and have been working since I was 16. I am going home now every night from work depressed, angry, frustrated, stressed. I am sick of all this pressure and spending all day at a place I hate. I don't know what to do with my life, and I don't know what direction to take career wise. I am trying to start my career young, but I hate my job because of my boss, the stuff he has me do, and how much of an idiot and jerk he is. I want to just scream, scream at him, and then leave; but I can't do that and it wouldn't be a smart decision. I don't know what to do. I am seeing a psychiatrist and everything, but its not helping. I'm not lazy; I just can't seem to find a job that I can get satisfaction and joy from. I am tired of being so stressed and angry. It's even harder when I leave work and go straight to school. I wish the Lord would show me what to do in life career wise so that maybe I could be happy. Any advice you guys have would be great. I kind of need some encouragement. God bless.

Having a difficult boss has a definite impact on our employment satisfaction. But, you've mentioned that you've hated every job that you've ever had. So, that leads me to think that one thing you might do is to explore your unique gifting. That is, how do you think and which part of the brain is the most dominant for your unique 'you'.
But, I also sense that al lot is going on here that contributes to your unhappiness. Sometimes, due to things that happen to us as chilfren, we can get into a pattern of Toxic Thinking. Not good. Depression can have many causes, including physical ones; and toxic thinking is one of them. Sometimes all it takes is bit of perspective juggling. Here's an example.
I was talking to a person in a graphics department and they had the task of photographing meetings. They didn't like it. I asked why and they said, all we do is take shots of people getting awards and there is nothing creative about it. But, when I reminded him that if he changed his perspective and moved from looking at it as just taking some mundane shots to looking at it as an opportunity to give the one being photographed a treasured lifetime memory of an achievement, then doing it, and doing it well, took on a whole new meaning. They would be creating tresured family memories. And, he agreed that just taking a different perspective was helpful.
Years ago, I was hired a a woman for the position of Market Research Assistant. It was for an audio visual company and the research involved going through various annuals to find groups that would be having meetings in multiple cities that we served. The job didn't meet her expectations and she took a serious dive emotionally, telling me that I'd wrecked her life by hiring her. We gave her six month pay so that she could find another position. The next person we hired had a completely different attitude. It was the same job; but, a different perspective. Not only did she thrive; but, she went on to become a VP of the company and by now, possibly, has a portion of the ownership. When the founder retires she is probably the person that will take over as CEO. I am extremely proud of her achievement.
Same job, different perspective, different outcome. It may be that as you get your depression under completel control that you will be better able to analyze the reality of your situation and either come up with a new perspective or move on in completely different directions.
Lord, I pray that bp4Christ will be open to you leading in all that they think and do. Move them closer and closer to the very center of your will for them, each and every day.

I agree. Have you ever taken a career assessment of any kind? You are going to be miserable if you are doing something you have not been wired to do. If you have been very unhappy with every job you've ever had, you need to find another type of work.
