Although I can't identify with all of the problems you're going through, I'd suggest that cutting your hours down would be a great idea. My old job had us working sometimes 55-60 hours per week, but they only paid us a salary based on 42. This used to really get me down. I changed job and it's probably the best thing I've ever done for both my mental and physical health. My old boss went off sick for months because of stress and depression, thankfully he's also now left. I can understand that a lot of people don't have the same opportunities, but try and do whatever you can to cut down on hours if you feel it's too much and other parts of your life are worse off for it.
My problem with cutting down my hours is that I will earn less money. I'm self employed as a taxi driver and I bought my own cab 4 years ago. I've been working long hours for the 4 years to pay for the finance that I took out. I'm not working to have extra money, it's just to cover the bills. I've got less than a year to go before the finance is all paid off and I'll be cutting my hours down dramatically when that happens, I'm looking at ways I can change things around a bit in the mean time.
