I have to keep this job but it's driving me to the point where I feel like I'm headed for an emotional and mental breakdown. Even the smallest comment or criticism about my work drives me crazy! I got written up today and I'm just wore down and freaking out.

You are so right. Some people are very rude. I would definitely look for a different job. Something in a quieter enviornment. Especially if you struggle with social anxiety.
Perhaps an entry level position at a law firm or at a doctor's office assisting in the back office (you may have to put up with the occasional melt-down from a partner, but it's much easier on your nerves than having hypoglycemic, demanding people in your face for hours on end each day).
*Be aware, though, just because you are working for "professionals" certainly doesn't mean you will be immune to aggressive, rude, inappropriate types of behavior. Hopefully, though, the "bad" behavior will be less frequent and you won't have to deal with the general public getting on your last nerve. Plus, it won't be a test of how much abuse you can endure
Best wishes to you! Let us know how you are doing.
