Dropping a promotion?

At my work I’ve been “training” to move up from supervisor to management.

Pretty sure I had either a panic attack or some sort of mental breakdown due to the job stress on Tuesday and have since recovered for the most part.

I’ll be honest, only reason I was getting the promotion was the money. I don’t care about the future of the company but stepping up to manager will mean that if my area does bad (very much did these last two weeks) it’ll affect me directly. Don’t know if I could handle being bad at something.

TL;DR: I guess my question is should I drop this promotion that will bring me from $46,800 Salary to $75K salary because I don’t think I’m able to do the job?
