I quit my job last night because I got threatened and I couldn't do it anymore.

There was a ton to get done and it was just me and my boss working. He wasn't helping and I had said I just wasn't sure how I'm supposed to accomplish it all before close. I was just thinking out loud trying to figure it out when my boss decided to yell at me. He said enough and that he can't take the negativity. He said I complain everytime I'm in [I don't] and that I won't be able to keep a job being how I am. I told him I didn't appreciate the threat and he then said he wants a positive environment. We went back and forth for a bit about that and I was trying not to cry. I don't do great in confrontation I tend to cry or buckle as is. Anyway I ended up telling him I can't do it anymore and I left.

My mental health is insanely bad as is and it won't improve there. I have no backup plan no potential job prospects so I probably really screwed myself especially because nobody wants a thing to do with me job wise. Honestly this is what spiraling and poor mental health looks like. If we are spiraling might as well fully commit I guess.

I always just did what I could for what I was being paid. If it didn't get done that wasn't my fault. Better to get fired than quit because you might still have grounds for unemployment compensation. Be sure and apply. Last time I was on it I applied online, didn't even have to go anywhere.

Beat the streets my friend. I guess you don't really do it that way anymore, but what I'm saying is apply for as many jobs as possible and something will come up. Even apply for jobs you don't think you're qualified for, you might be surprised at the results. Also, do what others have suggested and apply for unemployment too. You might have a case with that if you feel your boss was threatening you. Good luck to you, none the less.

Good move. It really isn’t worth it if you feel like it’s a battle every time you go in. Stand your ground with integrity and move on.
Been there and it’s not nice whatever the job. You’ll be alright as long as you’re a grafter and prepared to work for a living.
Wow, sorry that happened but...as bad as it all may look. It's probably for the better. I job that makes you feel like absolute shit all the time isn't worth being at. See this as an opportunity to start from scratch. You can do whatever you want know, you can love away you can go to rehab or whatever else you need to do for your mental health whatever , the skys the limit. When you fall rock bottom,all you can do it move up from that point
