I started a new job paying not a whole lot but it's the only job I could get in my area. It's in a bakery.

I don't think the job is for me. It hurts me physically and I feel weird being prodded over a medical issue this way. I need help to get the courage to send a quitting text in the most polite way I can (because I'm an anxious wuss). Help?
