I came across this comment on one of my favorite blogs today, and it's been sticking with me...
"It’s so hard to get up everyday and go to a job that is frustrating and toxic. It’s so easy to say “leave it at work” however, when it’s that toxic, it affects everything in your life. The toxicity becomes a way of life. I ran this topic past my husband (because I swear the OP and I work at the same company) and he said it’s similar to a convict wanting to stay in jail – they’ve become institutionalized. It’s all they know. Of course they want to leave, however many end back in jail because it’s all they know.
...When you resign yourself to accepting your circumstances and realize it’s your choice, you do become happier. [snip]
Change is so scary sometimes and fear gets in our way of good change. I hope you take this opportunity to better yourself and your future."
The question the original poster posed is not related to my situation, but the piece about "being the only thing you know" and it being scary to leave that, resonated with me. Something to ponder.
