Joined a new project team for over a year already, some how I still felt like the odd one out and some of the team is against me.

I used to consider them as friends cause they are the first few people I know off when I just the company.

So when there is a calling for engineers volunteering to join their project when they are having hard time fulfilling their contract obligation.

I felt compelled to support them. So, I was air dropped with the new project manager. There was some work reshuffling. All the original team member were promoted, while the new members will be the engineer.

Working together certainly have it's up and down, we have disagreements. Never being yes men, I will question decision and voice my concerns.

I also question the amount of workload assigned to me. I been working OT for the past year to meet deadline while the others are stepping in late and out early, enjoying long lunches.

I started to felt distance from them.

Am I suffering from depression?

Am I just burnt out?

Should I just quit and move on?

    don't think thats what they are suppose to do, to leave you out like that,
    but than again figure out what you want the job for, may be its time to readjust how u see ur job and focus less on the people

    I think it is totally normal to feel stressed with work, and the people associated with it. Although you said you felt 'compelled' to do the project, if it was what you desired to do at first, then I don't think you should give up. Sometimes in life you don't get the same opportunity ever again. Also, if you give up, what would your boss or future boss think of you? Otherwise you would have a great thing to write on your CV, right? You should balance the 'pros' and 'cons' of the decision.

    Excuse me if I've been totally wrong because I can't tell what your situation is really like by just reading your passage. It is normal to feel overwhelmed with work though... a lot of people feel like that. Good luck!
