You already know what I have to say about this, abaya, but I'm going to repost it here for the good of the conversation with others:
There is no shame in quitting, despite what some people would have us believe. There is such a thing as self-preservation, and sometimes you do have to quit in order to preserve yourself and your mental health. Is it worth it? Only you can answer that question.
To elaborate beyond what I said to you, I am very in touch with my mental health. Having dealt with anxiety, depression, and other things through the years, by the pricking of my thumbs I can tell when a situation is not doing me any mental good, and when I'm on that slippery slope to more depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, I do not always listen to myself. There was a situation a few years ago where I was in an unhealthy work environment, and I had the chance to be laid off or stay on in another position, and I mistakenly chose the latter. Three months later I quit--ended up leaving before my two weeks notice was up because I was so fed up with the boss and how she treated her employees--and became a nanny. Best decision I've ever made.
In addition to the advice I've already given you, I would definitely suggest taking some "me" time to figure out how this situation is truly affecting you. I want you to stay healthy and happy, and if this isn't doing that for you, you should move on--and people who really love you would want the same. Period.
