I'm sorry you're in that position! I feel your grief.
The first company I was at were terrible for wellbeing. There was pretty much no HR, I was working long hours for not much more, if anything at all. Eventually, with that experience I could move onto a giant company with a great HR team as expected, and I'm now at a small company (~5 of us) which also takes care of us.
Not all companies will be terrible, and you will find one of them. If you decide to move on, when you're interviewed, ask what the company is doing to keep employees happy.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

A lot of big companies have the budget for professional development too.

So in your experience, larger companies with big HR departments treat their staff better?
