I am so sick of my toxic boss. I just want to quit my job but i'm not having much luck on the job hunting front. I feel so trapped and I don't know what to do. maybe i should just off myself. honestly feels like the only way out at the moment after months of trying to find something else.

Hey there. I understand how you feel, I promise I do.

I know things feel really bad right now, but it's not always like this. As the commenter below suggested, get out of the house for a bit and go for a walk to clear your head. Maybe listen to some music.

I went through the toxic boss thing recently, to the point where I almost threw away my 8 years of sobriety. I'm also looking for work and have had little luck so far as well.

Things will get better. No one gets to make you feel that way. Fuck them.
Do your best to switch off when you're at work. Nod and smile, and keep looking for a new job.

Something will come through soon. You got this!

Thank you friend! I'm sorry you are having to go through it as well :( I think getting some sun and doing some chores helped my brain reset. Things will get better, I just wish it would hurry up haha.
