Haunt the job listing sites to see what's out there that you'd really like to do. Depending on your circumstances, there are a lot of low wage volunteer jobs that really need experienced people.
And let us know how things are going - there are a lot of sympathetic ears here.
I went through 6 1/2 years of job hell before I got laid off. I kept being put on to back shift, then was brought back to days long enough to get a department straightened out, then back to nights. I was good at my job, terrible at politics. I think I had PTSD for ten years after that.
I'll never prove it, but the executives at the places that can use my skills all know each other. I suspect that I missed out on some job offers and lost another job because of a wink and a nudge from the VP who had it in for me. So I know how gut wrenching it is to work with scum. Don't let them knock you down. Leave when you have some place better to go!
