Getting harder to go on ..
It’s getting harder for me day by day to put on a smily face at work these days. No matter what my gloomy face cracks through the facade and people have noticed. I talk less and people have noticed. On top of this my performance is not really going well at work due to my issues. I really don’t know what to do anymore ..

Been living that way forever, gloomy face, cracked shaky smile, broken speech is fine. But the performance shouldn't go down. Think that's the only thing that sounds going wrong above.
Your actions are the only thing that counts.. not how gloomy you look.
@StarGazer59 , you aren't alone in that feeling. But treat work as work. It's not your main goal in life.
Remember you have been given a wonderful opportunity to experience this one in a million chance to experience "life".
I'm not saying don't earn money or don't do work, I'm simply reminding you that there is a lot of life outside work. For example, play with your if u have one, it gives u immense pleasure, love your wife, take her to a small getaway, surprise your parents on a weekend with your child and take them maybe to an old place where u used to live just to remind them of their youth, call your friends (only really close one), tell them for a catchup/meetup on Sunday or a evening drinking session with them.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to say things will go on unexpected directions sometimes, but don't just keep holding onto that and keep blaming yourself, rather take some time off, think about in this small universe, in this small Milky way galaxy, in the small Earth, in India, in your small state, in the small city, you r such a big person who is carrying lot of burden???
We are nothing less than a speck of dust in the ravages of time. So why take so much pressure and feel heaviness when u can simply choose not to and focus on other things.
Eventually we all die, no one comes out alive in the journey of life, but until then enjoy, work hard only enough to live Another day, and put a smile on face, not in your work/office, but in your family and friends.
Lastly, remove the thoughts of salary, increment, promotion, and all that comparison from values u learned at society. We are much much better than a beggar who is begging without a limb(hand/leg) and trying to feed his son, no?
So realise that you are living the dream life of many. And take a chill pill.
Hope you will get some motivation from this.
Your brother from another mother! Carpe diem
Same situation. Giving my best but can sense the internal politics and backstabbing in my team. Feel like I am working so that my leads and manager get promoted whereas I get shit ratings
