I’m ashamed and I’m scared

I’m in a really dark place right now. I recently landed a job that pays around 80k which is more than I’ve ever made in my life. My partner and I were elated when I first got it because we needed a break towards taking care of some debt and working towards owning a home together. Well, long story short, I’m four months in and it’s absolutely destroying my mental health. Everyday is such a struggle that I dread getting in my car and going. It’s caused me to become depressed but I am scared to leave because with my degree this is a high paying job. My partner will understand but i feel like I’m letting them down. I want to quit. I want to go back to my freelance work where I was happy but made much less. Idk what to do but I wanted to vent here.
