Took the plunge and told my boss how burnt out and overworked I am

Took my boss aside and told them how stressed out I feel. That tasks are piling up and I have no idea how to manage them all. I was met with two quotes that cut me to the bone: why are you so thin skinned? Toughen up! And my new favorite: you have no idea what real stress really is. I dream of Microsoft Teams notifications and yelling over the phone. It's like the company just wants to watch me burn out. I would not be the first. Obviously I'm applying elsewhere, but so far no luck. I had sincerely hoped for some understanding or at least advice, but now I'm disillusioned and stretched too thin.
