Ask HN: What do I do if a job is causing me to be depressed and demotivated?

It is a legacy application with lots of internal tech and proprietary software I’ve never heard of or am able to find online. The manager and team push the undesirable work onto me despite me asking to do something else. The job market is pretty awful now and I’m not sure if I could find something else if I quit. The code base is of poor quality and just opening it makes me demotivated. All of this has caused me to spiral into depression the last 1.5 years. Is it possible to get out of this situation?
