Bad idea to quit?

I’m 19 years old, and about to start my sophomore year of college. I’ll be paying rent for the first time in my life. I move in less than 3 weeks. I started a job as a dishwasher at the beginning of July, and my boss is aware that I am leaving the job at the beginning of August. Ngl this job is extremely stressful. I’ve been dealing with some health issues for the last year, which have only been exacerbated by this physically demanding job. With my physical health in decline, this has taken a major toll on my mental health. My shifts usually start at 7 pm but I am too anxious to do anything all day because I worry so much about work. Additionally, I’ve been feeling terrible recently, so I’ve had to call out of work a few times now. I want to quit so badly,…


I’m 19 years old, and about to start my sophomore year of college. I’ll be paying rent for the first time in my life. I move in less than 3 weeks. I started a job as a dishwasher at the beginning of July, and my boss is aware that I am leaving the job at the beginning of August. Ngl this job is extremely stressful. I’ve been dealing with some health issues for the last year, which have only been exacerbated by this physically demanding job. With my physical health in decline, this has taken a major toll on my mental health. My shifts usually start at 7 pm but I am too anxious to do anything all day because I worry so much about work. Additionally, I’ve been feeling terrible recently, so I’ve had to call out of work a few times now. I want to quit so badly, but there’s no point in giving 2 weeks if I’m already leaving in 3. Even though I get treated well by my coworkers and managers, I’m absolutely miserable and want to quit without notice. However, I think it’s rude to not give notice to a company that has treated me kindly. I also think it’s important for me to prioritize my mental and physical health, especially when it’s something my doctor is incredibly worried about. I really have no idea what to do. I could push through, but I’m not too worried about income atm since I’m good about saving my money and I’ll start working again immediately after I move. My main concern is letting everyone down when the schedules have already been made. I don’t plan on referencing this job since I’ve worked there for such a short amount of time, but I carry a lot of guilt.
