My job is so uncertain and it’s making me ill. Please give me advice.

They have played me so much I don't know what's going to happen, and with so many broken promises, I don't know if it's actually going to happen. They are being evasive with me, won't give me any updates and are holding off to tell me the new contract terms. The current contract officially ends in one week.

The only thing keeping me is the money being good, but mentally I am suffering and feel like i'm no more than a piece of crap on their shoes. How should I move forward from here?
