Against my instincts I quit my temp job and accepted a job and started the last day of January. It's been horrendous. I caught covid and had to take 2 weeks sick (on SSP because I'm on probation) I am certain I got it from my passive aggressive colleague who I am forced to "hotdesk" with in a small meeting room. so this is really only my week 6, my line manager is on holiday, and I'm getting hassle from every quarter. Today it got too much and I went home at lunch time and cried. I want to quit, I reached my limit today, and the thought of going back - I just can't. I have had issues with work stress in the past, and I'm a long term anti-depression user. I feel like I'm getting ill again because of this job.

Contact your agent, ask them to find you a new job.

It isn't working for you, so leave. It's an employee market right now, hard to recruit across the board.

You sound how I got in November/December when I had a habit of getting the wrong job a couple of times and the environment of the places was never right and you get an added sense the job isn't you or a lasting one if that makes any sense.

Quit. When it makes you cry at lunch or considering getting back on or upping the meds to cope it is not good.

In the end a remote based job had been one of the best things, it helped through dark days after bereavements last Autumn when facing people was a no and now things are looking so much brighter whatever happens, I am sure this can happen for you too.

You'll feel loads better with a few days away from it and the next job might be a much better suited one.

Thanks Glitter, that's what my gut is telling me. I'm just scared of not getting something else quickly
