Need some moral support right now

I know I’m being gaslit, I know it’s all bullshit, the place is terribly mismanaged and falling apart. I want to quit. I’ve been wanting to quit. I’ll probably just quit in my year review because I expect them to again gaslight me and Im at the point where Im just gonna say “no i’m done being gaslight i rescind the false admissions of guilt that i was bullied into signing”. I’m just scared and overwhelmed about finding the next gig, but I also know for how much this place makes me mentally emotionally and physically exhausted I never have the time to find a gig while working this one. Just overwhelmed about the future, about instability, about struggling to survive.
