I feel like my new job is taking a toll on my health. I feel like I am getting physically sick because of the nature of the job and the extended hours. What is the best approach to get out of the job?

People say get a new job before leaving. I need to pay bills. The bills are so high. I don’t know what to do.

What should I do?

First, do your best to reduce your expenses as much as possible. If you do an audit, you will likely find that you are paying for more than you absolutely need to. Second, just start applying while you are still employed. It's hard because applying for jobs is stressful and you're already dealing with a lot, but five or six applications a day will only take you less than an hour and you'll be making progress, which should help with your mental health. I'm really sorry for what you're going through, I've definitely been there.

Yes 100% agree. Rest is important. With high cost of living its hard to rest these days. :(

How do you know for certain that you will get a job that is not awful for the next position?

In terms of making sure the next position isn’t bad, try to ask questions about what is important to you, research the company, and do your best to find a decent next opportunity. Nothing is guaranteed. Due diligence, and do what you can.

This is a good idea as well. But my fear is what is the standard that they use to qualify you as disabled or need for modification. The work compensation field seems sketchy

I'm so sorry you feel this way. I'm an outsider looking in so please forgive me for chiming in here but I've been blessed to work with some excellent physical therapists and they all loved their job.
You mention disability/workman's comp, which is sadly ironic given the field you are in but of course things can happen to anyone. I've met PTs who specialized in particular areas. Maybe a different area would be a better fit for you? I hope you find what you need - it's best to have something lined up before moving on. All the best to you.
