For those of you who quit exploitative jobs for the sake of your mental health, what are you doing now?

I'm on the cusp of losing my job as I refuse to cooperate with plans to revert things back to how they were pre-Covid, which had been deeply detrimental to my mental health. I'm already burning out, I literally cannot go back and function in that environment. But despite searching for a few months I can't find anything better to fall back on. I have plenty of family that could help me but none who will, especially since I've been supporting my mother who's on bad terms with the rest of them. I don't know where to turn or what my next steps are going to look like. So to those of you who have been in my similar position, choosing to call the bluff of America's “we need you desperate so that you'll be less than human” work cycle, what…did you do?
