Good on you!
One job I had when I was 25 was supposed to be a "dream job." Was making pennies and working legit 110 hours a week. My boss was horrible. I lost 30 pounds. Wasn't sleeping. Lost all self confidence.
Ended up quitting. Went to therapy. Started eating normally again. Found another job in like 3 weeks. Not saying that this will be your experience. But it was a positive move all around. You'll be better for it in the future.
