I have a problem with ringing in work sick a lot?

So ive worked in my current role for 3 yrs. I ring in work sick a lot, probably at least every month. Although compared to previous years this is an improvement.

This is mainly to do with depression/anxiety and general mental health and motivation.

Basically I absolutely hate the job, and can't tolerate the environment anymore.

I have of course had days off for stomach bugs and things but these aren't as often.

My finances take a hit and I feel guilty on my partner, if not, a bit on my work colleagues but not all of them.

What can I do? I actually rely on this job but cant bring myself to do it anymore.
If you don't like the job, start looking for somewhere new. It's never too early to start applying and the quicker you find another job, the sooner you can leave.

Are you getting help for your mental health problems?
Get a job you can tolerate.

IME pulling sickies for depression or anxiety doesn't help long term, it makes them worse.
