Antiwork

I’ll be pushed into graveyard shift next week with no hope of any changes for at least 3 months and I’m having a hard time comprehending the idea of quitting. Please help.

I used to work a 6 pm to 3 am night shift which was more than bearable in an email customer service job but now they're pushing some of us into the worst part of the night shift (10 pm to 7 am) with no additional shift differential pay for this. I'll discuss this with my manager but I'm 80% sure at this point that I'll have to quit. Please give me any suggestions or advice on how I mentally prepare myself to quit this job. If I go forward with this shift, I'm pretty sure I'll be miserable to the point of self harm but the idea of quitting makes me anxious and a lot of negative and gruesome thoughts about unemployment enter my head. I have enough savings to coast through 6 months and additional 6 months to a year if I break some of my investments. Anyone…

Edit: I'm sure there will be many well meaning people asking me to pursue an employment attorney assuming I'm from states but unfortunately I'm from India and our labour laws aren't nearly robust.
