As I say, I'm used to just going through life in the complete absence of
any kind of success, regardless of effort applied. It does things to
your mind.

Well, perhaps. Personally I think *going* somewhere might not be such a
bad idea. At least it would get me away from this job...
A very seriously doubt that adding more letters after my name will have
any measurable effect on my career prospects. But being in a more
positive and supportive environment might.

Oh, I can find a few things. But how to apply? I'm afraid I don't really
understand all this stuff.

Meh. Some of the Haskell compilers out there are measured in thousands
of lines of code. Nothing I have ever written is nearly that large. If I
write something and it gets to 1,000 lines, I start trying to find ways
to make it simpler.
