 I don't see which country you are from. Do you have unemployment or another type of relief from the government in order to quit while you look for work? It sounds like a particularly toxic working environment if it is actually making you sick to work there, and some offices are like that. Maybe you should try thinking "outside the box" and attempt a job outside of the field that you are in currently too. Perhaps there would be more opportunities if you expand what you would be willing to do, even at a slight pay cut. Think about the things that a really interesting to you and what your ideal job would be, and try to figure out how to get closer to that goal.

But what would happen if you had a child and couldnt go back to work, then you would have to manage on one wage. Years ago a friend told me, when you get married manage from day one on just your husbands wage, bank the rest. It isnt easy, but not impossible. Why dont you do something that you want to do. Maybe change direction career wise. Down grade job, it isnt the end of the world. Step off the ladder and do some temping work for an agency. I have in the past and survived. Dont stay like this or your will be permanently ill and unable to work again, then what would happen.
take care
