Okay to not care anymore?

Ever since my direct manager of several years retired, I’ve been doing the job of 2 people for over 2 years with no end on site. Ignored when directly informing management that additional support is needed. … Constantly expected to take on tasks, attend meetings and answer questions that are above my pay rate. Meanwhile, my new manager (who agreed with all my concerns and echoed them to his management), resigned after a little over a year in pure frustration. His manager (who became my new manager while “backfilling” the position… which has been open since April) resigned. Now I’m stuck with no management and the everyday pressure to bridge the gap. … I set boundaries that are repeatedly ignored. I always cared very much about my work but my mental health has gone down hill. I feel like no one cares. Feeling like cheap labor at this point. ……

I always cared very much about my work but my mental health has gone down hill. I feel like no one cares. Feeling like cheap labor at this point. … Is it okay for me to just not care anymore and just minimize what I do daily in order to take care of my mental and physical health? … I know this sounds like a silly question, but I just don’t know what I should do. … and yes, I’ve been applying to jobs for months without securing a new position. Any thoughts / advice would be much appreciated.
