And I'm already debating whether I should just text my boss and quit. I already called out yesterday after I spent an hour or so, sitting on my bathroom floor, crying my eyes out and putting a dent in the wall. I'm supposed to work a nine hour shift tonight and another on Thursday night and on one of my free days off, try and go register for college classes for the summer semester.

I apologize; getting ahead of myself. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, major depression, and anxiety back in 2009. I was hospitalized twice for thoughts/attempts of suicide and was on medication until early 2013 when my medical insurance ran out. So, I've been off medication and without any sort of treatment since.

This is my 3rd job since moving from Delaware to Florida, and I'm already ready to quit. I just, don't see the point of working long hours for money. I know I need it to help support my living situation, but every time it gets closer to leaving for work, my anxiety flares up. I don't like it; I hate having to be responsible for checking ID for alcohol, cigarettes, and cough medicine (and if you don't check, you run the risk of being fined and worse), and I hate how my boss treats me as if I'm as dumb as a stump.

I was able to find a therapist with a sliding scale, but the appointment isn't until next week. And I really can't take any more time off since I just started this job about two weeks ago. But if I quit, I'm without a job until I find another one, and my family will be angry with me once again for quitting.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated; completely at a loss right now.

Your job is a means to an end. Everytime you quit you are starting from scratch. Do you have a career goal? If not I'd advise getting started on one. Dead end jobs are generally not much fun. I think you need to bear with it until you are doing something more rewarding.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
