My work places makes my anxiety on top form. Do I quit?

[sodoffbeforemycupofcoff]

I started a role last year and was on 6 months probation. 8 months into the role my probation was extended due to instances that occurred between the two months my probation should have been reviewed (6-8 months).
I was told what I need to do to “get there” which I have taken on board and tried hard to do. since the meeting, I have had another (informal) meeting with my manager that I asked for to explain how I feel since the meeting everything seems to be going wrong. I come in each day expecting to be fired and I keep seeing emails with my name on that are “going wrong”. For context this role is extremely high pressure, I work a full day of customer service calls while trying to process sales orders that come through constantly and fast with every particular requirements that we must make sure the item has. It’s like working two full time jobs.
I broke down on my call and said I don’t know if it is my time to just say I quit and be done with it.
My manager did say since my probation meeting I am now meeting my other targets, but it is other things I now need to brush up on. He followed up by saying he didn’t want to see me go and believes I have all the potential to complete probation.
this doesn’t disregard my anxiety and constant fear. I have children who rely on me. I have been looking elsewhere but nothing is coming up that would fit my needs. I am a single mother with high outgoings. I just don’t know what to do for the best.

Do they know you have anxiety? Are you medicated for it?

It doesn’t really seem like quitting is a great option for you with your responsibilitie, so you need to find a way to manage your anxiety until you can find something else. Would you consider medication? In any case a chat with your GP would probably it be the best way to start.

In my experience when a job is stringing you along about probation they are planning to get rid of you anyway. I've also had experience of extreme anxiety caused by a job and the relief I felt when I finally left was immense and I wished I had done it a lot sooner.

My advice is to get yourself signed off sick by your GP and then sort out how you would cover your finances if you left and that might be via benefits rather than by another job.

Speak to the citizens advice bureau and see what's your options are so that you can cover your bills but you need to get out of that role as quickly as possible or it's going to break you.

You could use mindfulness techniques and relaxation therapy for reducing the level of anxiety which you carry. If still that doesn't work, then you can quit the job and do not worry about it, what is meant for you will find its way.

If you are going in every day worried sick about doing everything wrong, that isn't going to be helping you at all. It is a negative mindset, so perhaps you need some counselling to help you manage your feelings about this.
