Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. First of all you should be able to understand the difference between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. I suggest you to rename your problem as simple disappointment.

Everyone across the world hates stereo typed jobs and slowly drifts away and procrastinate. That is a common problem and you need not to worry about a common problem. I am happy to note that you are doing many things to avoid being procrastinated. That is not enough.

What you need is self motivation. Nobody will provide motivation throughout your life. You need to get the cues and get yourself motivated. If you do not like the current job, change it and find a new job which is interesting and suitable for you. If you want enjoyment, change of mood and creative job, you should not worry about status or pay package. Go and grasp a job which is satisfactory to you.

Otherwise, if you cannot forego your status or pay package, and cannot settle for less, then learn to be passionate with your job, learn to enjoy what you do, learn to cultivate habits which makes you to love your job. There are several ways available out there.

Good luck. Take care.
