Yeah, I agree with leejosepho, I think a lot of workplaces are toxic/stressful these days. I quit an absolutely awful work situation eariler this year without anything lined up because dealing with my boss was giving me panic attacks, so I know how some jobs can push you to your limits. Fortunately, my husband makes decent money and we were able to get by okay. I recently started another job.

I am thinking that going to a temp agency might be an option to get some money coming in quickly while you look for something more permanent. I have done that in the past, and they can usually place you pretty quickly. Lots of people take vacation around the holidays, so they might need people to fill in.
