How do I quit a job with no “safety net” that’s destroying my mental health?

For context. I've made a post here a month or so ago about worsening conditions. I work automotive. I live in Minnesota, USA. I am on the spectrum so everything is 2 to three times as difficult for me to learn or do on average, (which I often get chewed out for being slow despite informing them of being on the spectrum). I'm only allowed to do tires and oil changes despite being able to do most things. My hours just got chopped from 35 plus hour weeks to 20 hour weeks. 3 other techs were just hired. One of my coworkers cusses me out almost daily, and when I reported the verbal harassment to both HR and the owner, was told to shrug it off.

I've almost lost this job here due to said coworker and the fact they've screwed me over multiple times, (not sure if intentional or not). I've applied to appropriately 20 jobs in the past month with no results. Right now I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown, my parents are supporting me the best they can, but they can only do so much. I need advice please. I can't afford to quit, but I don't know if I can afford not to due to dental, medical, and various other bills.

If this is not a good post for this sub, please don't slam me, I already feel like giving up.
