Just start doing less at work. It's very unlikely, even if you're in the US, that you'll be fired quickly, so just reduce your output. Use any time that you're not being directly observed to pull out your phone and look for other jobs. If you can, take a week or two of PTO, and if you can't, call in sick for a few days.

None of this makes it easy to leave, but short of just leaving the job and taking a few weeks to recover, which I assume you're not in a financial position to do, it's the only realistic way.
