I was late for work this week, which mortified me... that's what started this mental breakdown to my boss. I told her I am too stressed and anxious all the time at work. We do work that if done wrong could cause harm. It was making me nervous that I would make a mistake and possibly hurt someone. I just wasn't cut out for it and it was all pouring out of me in this moment. I went on to tell her how I was depressed and taking work home with me causing me constant anxiety. It has been overwhelming the whole time I work there. So I tell her that I need to quit.

From here she tries to convince me to not leave. Keeps telling me ill regret it (although I hardly make more than minimum wage). That this is the wrong decision. It almost made me feel like she didn't care about my feelings at all. Even tried to blame my depression on home life (specifically my boyfriend, which is not the case).

I've discussed this with lots of friends and family and they all feel I need to do what's best for me right now regardless of what my boss or coworkers might think. They agree that I'm not healthy mentally or physically (I stopped eating from stress. Almost vomited the day I quit) and that I need to focus on myself and my needs.
