Forced to Resign

I was pressured (forced) to resign from my part-time job last week.
I was struggling, my mental health was terrible, my managers / bosses were angry all the time and emotionally manipulative, and what with the holidays so close, it was only going to get worse from there. They refused to move me to a different department, and they "couldn't have me" calling in sick 30 minutes before my shift... so they asked me if I was resigning. They needed an answer right then, they said. It was only going to get harder from there, they said.
TL;DR - My job sucked, my bosses didn't give a shit about my wellbeing, and I couldn't handle being treated as a replaceable cog in the corporate machine anymore. They wanted me gone, too. So I quit. I hope it made their jobs harder.
Since I've quit, I've had a week to get out of the funk I was in for feeling guilty / like a failure. I tried my hardest, but my mental health and happiness is more important to me than money is. I'm going to look for another part-time after the holidays, ideally somewhere smaller or less stressful. Until then, I've got the horse riding lessons I've already paid for to do, and since I have all this free time, I've got time to volunteer, get back in shape, and get my chest strength up before my top surgery come spring.
I'll also probably do some drawing, and post some pics of a personal fursuit I've been working on. The head is mostly done, I just need to fix some things and make final touches to said head, and then I have plans for a tail, another mane / tail set, hands, arms, legs, and an extra set of hooves.
So yeah. I'll probably post a couple things now and then. Look forward to that!

OP
Thank you. It really did suck - I was good at the job, I just didn't feel good doing it. Felt like a robot, plus customers can be hella rude to cashiers, and when you work in a busy grocery store.... it can be even worse. I'm glad I left. I might be a cashier again, but I'm going to look for somewhere smaller if I go that route.
