I stuck at a job for a long time where I became underappreciated and unhappy. It was ****ing with my head. I bit the bullet and moved on (it was very hard for me to get a job and I greatly appreciated what I had and as such didn’t want to **** around with it too much). Best thing I did. And I was not treated like badly at all in the 1st position just probably outgrew my potential there and wasn’t happy.
But if you’re getting treated like **** like not even good place to be just get out as soon as you can bro. It ain’t worth it. I understand it’s not always as easy to just drop a job. But at least begin working on your exit strategy.

Completely agree with Cap, you've gotta get out.
If the situation is bad enough you can get a certificate from your GP for stress leave and use up some of your sick leave for a while.
I hope you find something better!

Had a dream last night that my missus pillow was a transformer and was trying to turn into a ****ing Decepticon to try kill me.
Woke up this morning and the missus was like have you seen my pillow. Turns out in my sleep I've hid it up in the wardrobe lol

Haha I used to sleepwalk a lot, not so much now. One of the first times my now wife slept over ~24 years ago, she found me on the kitchen bench yelling. In a dream I was being chased by a lobster trying to nip my feet.
Why the hell she stuck around I don't know haha.

I work in a shop/factory. It’s chemical supplies.
As a laborer? Floor manager?

Well this changes everything. Order a bunch of precursor chemicals and make it look like 1 of the people that treat you like **** did it. You quit the job and sell those chemicals off for a handsome little severance package.
I've been in a similar boat years ago. I was working as a business development manager for a company where it legit nearly killed me. Won't go into much detail but it took me 2 years to finally make a change that i should have made immediately.
Money was a huge factor but mental health is more important mate. What i did was - i used 2 annual leave days and had a 4-day weekend. In that time i signed up with every recruitment agency & labor hire mob i could find as well as ringing blokes on gumtree etc chasing staff.
i did not care about the job i just needed some sort of an income until i could get into what i wanted to do. (my line of work usually consists of 4+ interviews and takes m 2 months minimum in the hiring process).
Couple of labor hire places called me back within 3-4 days and said we have a job we need staff on for 6 weeks if you're interested. I accepted, then I gave my notice to my current job and basically just used up all my sick leave as they weren't going to pay it anyways and that was that. Instantly felt like a new man after i resigned. The 6-week work was easy, stress free and served its purpose and in between i continued to apply for what i really wanted to do.
My advice is don't wait until its too late or at a point where it can take you months to recover. Make that change buddy and get out of there. Apply for Centrelink the moment you do quit, that benefit is designed to help people so utilize it. Also once you get on Centrelink, even if you're working casually you will be linked to a service provider. When you meet with them have a chat about getting them to assist with tickets eg. Forklift, HR licence, working at heights etc. Or look at study options through them if that's something you're interested in.
My mate used the help from his service provider whilst on Centrelink, they got him his HR licence, then HC licence, confined space ticket, working at heights ticket, construction white card and 2 others i can't remember the name of. All of this got him in the mines where now he's earning 4k a week *driving a truck. Easiest money he could ever make. Moral of that story is use the tools given to you by Centrelink etc..
I don't know where you live but i seen underneath your avatar it said Central Coast.
Here are a list of labor hire companies i found in that area. Recommend ringing up every single one of them, make a profile with them and say you are actively looking for work. They don't need to know your story so keep it simple with them. Recruiters don't care if I'm being honest, its all about them getting placements.
