Thanks a ton. Very useful. I did think about such rules. (for example work 9 to 5 etc). But it's difficult to implement since I think a lot about the work even after knowing I am not valued. (I bring a lot of value to the table. They do know. But they are playing the politics). Good point on what 'worst' peers are doing. Most of them have quit/asked to quit/moved to different teams. Very few left now to compare to. They make a lot of noise all the time and fooling the incompetent management. I still haven't started searching for job because 1) Work life balance is good here 2) I hate interview focussed learning. I am more interested in broader technology/problem statement/solution based learning.

You may be forced into searching for a job later if you don't do it now. Doing it now will be a lot easier than if you have no job and time is running out down the line. There is no reason why you can't find another job with a good work life balance and I don't completely understand the second reason you don't want to search for a job,it may sound harsh but it kind of sounds like an excuse to help avoid going through uncomfortable interviews. They aren't fun, but you will need to do them eventually.

Maintain social health and get exercise. You should be doing these already, but now they're more important.

Talk to a therapist. No shame.
