Is it worth me staying if my mental health is at risk?

Hello everyone,

I am a 27-year-old guy that has been working in a warehouse for over 3 years. I started here as a material handler, after a few months I was promoted to trainer, and after a year I was promoted to IT (though I’d say I’m more of a glorified troubleshooter). My IT job was great at the time and gave me the confidence to try and learn new things. However, when we started getting new directors and general managers, all of that changed drastically.

We used to get plenty of overtime and our job had tons of people until we had a meeting regarding the changes in our PTO/VTO system. After the changes, those tons of people that we had left in droves. I work the weekend shift and man is it quiet. Okay so not enough overtime. You’d think that’d be it, right? Wrong. My friend, who was in the same IT position as I, got promoted to my supervisor. Afterwards, he eventually got one of his other friends from a previous job as my new colleague. She is a good worker…problem is she’s a bit of a drama queen. One time I took off work after she did, (mainly for my mental health), and my boss told me she was complaining about it and how stressed out she was. I even went through an entire month working by myself because she got sick. Even now, if I tell her to do something she is supposed to be doing while on the job (not in a mean way), she’ll go behind my boss and say that I’m “micromanaging her.”

I’d say I’m pretty good at my job and would be comfortable working an office job if given the opportunity. Right now I’m just under a lot of stress of knowing that my current IT job is a dead-end job, on bad terms with coworkers, and expectations of me are high because I’m the “Senior”. IT I don’t think is a career I’d want to work long-term because at the end of the day, I just want to perform my job successfully and go home. Working the warehouse life for 3 years and 12 hour shifts on top of that has changed me and not in a positive way.

As for my mental health, I’m currently on Lexapro and recently starting taking a new medication to go along with it. I still feel like I want to die and have no hope for my future. I go to the gym, walk at the park, eat healthy, meditate, yet its still never enough to cure my depression. Sadly, I’m not a youtuber that can just up and quit their job and not worry about bills. My bills are rather high. Gas, cellphone bill, internet, car note, etc. I live with my mother currently and don’t have to rent. Still, I’d hate to have terrible credit because I quit my job and couldn’t find a replacement job in time.

Right now I’m making about 40-45k a year. I have no issues with cutbacks so I really need advice as for my next step. Should I quit my job and try to work parttime somewhere? Tough it out at my current job? Do doordash + another partime job? I’m frustrated and lost right now. Currently I don’t have any savings.

TL;DR: I’m a disgruntled employee with mental health issues wondering what should my next step be.

Thanks.
