Im sitting at work, alone, i want to just leave and not come back.

But i cant. Adult, responsibilities. Blah blah blah.

I feel nothing inside. Well, irritation and anger and sadness.

Nothing good.

What is it about your job that makes you want to leave?

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a job they adore but it is soul destroying to spend 8 hours a day doing something you actively hate.

What are you interested in outside of work? What do you do (or even dream of doing) that makes your heart beat a little faster? What are your hobbies?

Given the nature of the UK labour market at the moment there are many possibilities - catering, driving, care work, etc. But in any event, defining yourself as a failure just because of what you have to do to pay the bills is a bit extreme - is there anything else in your life that's getting you down at the moment?
