How long should I grit my teeth for?

I've done on average 55-hour-weeks in a demanging desktop job since December. I worked all day and all night on wednesday, did not sleep a minute yet did full eight hours the day after. I've sacrificed my social life, my hobbies, my sex life with my bf, and my physical fitness to do good in this job. I've not even reported all my hours to payroll, because I felt some tasks took me too much time to complete and it was my fault for not being fast enough, but I wanted to do them well and carefully anyway.

It's a respected company and an alright position, which will be regarded well once i'll apply for…

Is this worth suffering for 1 – 1,5 more years to get the CV points? It's a respected company and an alright position, which will be regarded well once i'll apply for another job, but i've only got 6 months down so i'll need to be here longer to get the benefit.

Any opinions are welcome! I need help debating my options.
