Left my job without another job lined up

...See more Im stressed, anxious, upset. I left my job after being there for only a few months. It’s my first real job after graduating college. I couldn’t do it anymore. Some of my coworkers were GREAT. Some were bad. But the reason I left was the toxic work environment. The management did not listen to suggestions on work improvement ideas… mandated us to work 16 hour shifts… blamed us for every little thing they can think of. Work started to impact my overall health. I lost almost 30 pounds, I was sleeping for 30 minutes each night before work, I was eating once a day, I wasn’t able to relax and do the things I used to enjoy. I started crying before and after work. I would physically drag myself out of bed and cry in the shower before work. Im very lucky that I have great family support. Im also financially stable and Im not responsible for anything financially which impacted my decision to quit. It’s almost a month now, and I haven’t been able to find a new job. I applied to almost everything but I only had 1 interview . Im still waiting for a call back but Im starting to lose hope. I’m starting to feel like a failure and constantly rethinking if I did the right thing. I do know that once I get a job, I’d feel way better. But right now, Im lost and defeated. I wanna hear your stories with quitting a toxic work environment and let’s support each other through this difficult season.
