So sorry you are going through this Deanna. I am sure its affecting your whole mental & emotional health and that is not good. I say quit today why wait? You can't worry about your co workers, that is not your burden to bare, that is your Boss & Companies problem not yours.
If this situation is to the point of you having panic attacks you have to ask yourself what would I say to a loved one or BFF if they presented the exact same situation, pretty sure you would tell them to quit and get out fast. Please take care of yourself.

Job woes suck! Do what you need to do - especially with the green light from the hubs - your health and well being are more important!

I feel your pain!! I'm in the same situation, typing this on my work PC (probably being watched), and I am going home at night crying because I hate my job so much. My boyfriend/sorta ex-boyfriend wants me to quit too, he says my mental happiness is WAY more important than this job, it's just hard because I have been the main earner for us for so long, it would be a tremendous cut in income if I quit, plus I start getting all these feelings of guilt... I'm sure you know the feeling.
I read an article this weekend though that was pretty inspiring about a lady that quit her well paying job, and took one that paid much less, but she was so much happier now. She runs into her ex-colleagues and they congratulate her on escaping.
Life is too short to trudge through doing something you hate and makes you miserable all the time.
Breathe woman! I've been there! Do what you need to do for your own peace of mind and for your young family. My last job was very stressful, mainly because we all knew we were going to be laid off and it dragged on for a couple of years while they "reorganized". IT took me 18 months to find this job. It was not something I would have applied for originally, but I am so much happier and less stressed here. This job is not so stressful, I have busy times and not busy times, and I don't bring any work stress home. It's not the most challenging job, but I think after all those years of more challenging and stressful jobs, I deserve the break. Yes, I'm bored out of my skull somedays and often volunteer to do all the grunt work people have just to keep occupied. I don't want to be out there looking for work again at my age. The year and a half I was out of work due to the layoff was scary, and my benefits here are too good to leave.
Where my Crocs people at?! Deanna, Cyndy, Audrey... May I present the Amazon Deal of the Day!
