About to quit job

I know this is a symptom of bpd to get bored and want to quit but for MONTHS I have been considering this

I am chronically bored at my job and it’s also kind of a toxic environment. I’m realizing it’s nearly impossible for me to work a 9-5. I’ve used up the little vacation I have and I feel like I’ve already called in sick too many times. As of now my manager does like me and if I leave I could probably still get an OK reference

I don’t have another job lined up but I feel like it’s impossible for me to look LET ALONE recover when I am so depressed because of this job. I just wake up and experience such levels of dread that I am instantly in a dark spiral all day. I’ve tried doing DBT alongside, prioritizing my health and it’s just impossible for me to stick with it. Every week I get derailed and I’m just MISERABLE

The issue is I don’t have something else lined up. I’m sure I could find something but it wouldn’t be great. I honestly just want to take a month or two to focus on my BPD because I don’t even know what I want in my work and clearly I’m having issues regulating

I could take short term disability while I do that / look for jobs but I feel like it will look really bad to quit right after that and it may ruin my reference

Any suggestions please help

It’s a pattern I have and have left 3 really great careers now. The last one would’ve seen me making upwards of $200k/year. Now I’m broke, depressed, and extremely behind on all my bills. Probably going to lose my house, car, and fiancé.

Hard to say what the right move is because I spent everyday at work fantasizing about dying. I’m not doing that anymore which is good but money makes the world go round..

Best of luck. DM if you ever need to talk
