How do I know when to quit?

I am in my second year of college and I am taking 16 units. I have been working in this store for a year and a half. I work between 20-30 hours a week. I used to work only weekends but I had to change my schedule due to new management. The work is not difficult and I am getting hours. However, I feel overwhelmed with so much work. Education is my number one priority. As the semester is coming to an end, more assignments are going to be due and finals are coming. These assignments include two 5 page papers, one 8 page paper, and reading a 600 page book. I must also fill out college applications to transfer to a four year university. Furthermore, I never look forward to work. I am always sad and worried. I suffered from stress and depression in the past. Some of my coworkers are very hostile. They talk about me behind my back, make fun of me, and they treat me like I am crazy. Thus, I feel uncomfortable and I do not like most of my coworkers and vice-versa. I stopped talking to my coworkers and my confidence is really low. I did really dumb things. I flirted with a guy who I ended up having a crush. I found out he is of a different religion. He is Muslim and I am Catholic. It is clear that he does not like me. He told everyone that I liked him. I overheard him say to his friend that he has fun making me mad. I was angry and I came home in tears with a bad headache. I couldn鈥檛 sleep. As the holidays are coming, I am expecting more work even past midnight. I do not need to money so badly because I get some financial aid. Are these signs that I should leave my job? If so, how do I quit? If not, why should I stay? Thanks to all of you in advance.|||You need to go right now to the employer and give them the days and times you will be available until further notice.


Its hard when there are bad politics at work.


Never "like' anyone at work *guys) thats only trouble.


Dont get too personal and talk about yourself at work, talk in general,movies foods etc.


Get some new confidence, look like your in charge of your feelings now, hold your head up and give the impression you are in control and feeble attempts to ruin your day cannot be done. People say something bad or embarrassing, dont answer them, look at them like thier stupid and keep on working.


Dont gossip at work.


Or just try to get a new job by taking time off from work so you can interview when called.|||Talk with your manager. Maybe longer shifts or cut out a day or two. 20 hours doesnt seem like much. I got 20 hours a week with my last job and I only worked weekends.
