Sorry to hear that, shivajikobardan... I feel you, as I used to work in hospitality when I was younger and the amount of shit I had to go through with both clients and colleagues could be made into a fully-fledged tv series (20 seasons long lol).
A few things that helped me through that time were:
1 - Finding at least one (better if more) colleague/s to act as a mutual support group. Meet up on weekends, or during lunch, etc. "No man is an island" as they say. Usually knowing others go through the same pain and struggle and laughing it off helps to a degree. It's not a myself against the world type of situation in this regard.
2 - Find a hobby or thing you do on the side that you like doing. You are not your job. You are more than what you do from 9 to 5. It's a great way to de-stress and at least feel in control. And if that hobby has the potential to earn money - even better. That hope of an "escape" will help kindle that spirit inside of you to keep going.
3 - Preparing for the great escape. At some point, enough is enough and most tactics are just band-aid solutions or "temporary escapes" anyway. Ideally, if you don't like where you are, with a computer, phone and internet connection you can upgrade your skills and pivot in a better direction. Keep your health and energy levels optimal, as many jobs have a nasty tendency to suck the life from you so you don't have enough energy left at the end of the day to do things that matter.
