Go see a therapist imo. The problem is persist and detrimental enough that it cannot be ignored. Going to see a therapist is probably frowned upon in Japanese culture. Most of them are expected to just tough it though.
Idk if it is exclusive to the corporate sphere of work in Japan but there is a crazy notion that anyone who takes more than two consecutive days off be it sick leave or annual leave is "lazy", there also seems to be a huge deficit in terms of mental health care based on the tidbits I've read.

There are two types of people in Japan: People, who work their ass off and mostly die while doing so and those, who stay at home, mostly with their parents, for months and only read manga and eat instant noodles. Man, I wish I could do that, but I live along and need money to stay faaaaar away from hunger XD

But yeah, moral in Japan compare to America or Europe is completely different.

I too have an unhealthy desire to ensure my bills are paid and food is on the table, I [try to] keep this desire in check via my slave wage with mixed results.

Yeah, I know that feeling. Brought me more than once to the edge, but every time, something tried to keep me from going over. So yeah, I know how depression feels and where they can lead you. This is why I'm glad that there are (still) some good games, that let you escape from reality, even though it got more and more difficult by companies pushing certain political nonsense into it. At least, this place is still untouched... YET.
