I've missed so much work lately. I've been calling out sick left and right to get out of having to be there. I have social anxiety and depression and I just can't bring myself to go to this job anymore. In the beginning everyone seemed nice.

We're forced to sit in close proximity to one another every day and that just makes me even more uncomfortable. People are always lingering behind me and though I can't prove it, I feel like they're talking poorly about me etc. I'm afraid to quit on the spot because I feel like they may try to be vindictive or slander me, but I know at this point I'm probably getting fired soon anyway. I just can't bring myself to go in anymore. I have to turn in my key to the store and my uniform if I quit and our store is so poorly covered that leaving would mean leaving one person there by themselves that day and I feel bad if I leave that way. I just want to be done w this job. Any advice?
