Sounds like the job is bad for your health. Like really bad. Do you live somewhere with a lot of opportunity for programmers?

Also, imposter syndrome never makes sense, It's just what we have :-)

Living in the DC Metro area, so plenty of opportunities and I have a clearance. Part of it is guilt over considering leaving/quitting after only 3 months. It feels like I am giving up. Will try and hold out until I get something else though probably, at least for a bit
My wife left a miserable job a few years ago. The work conditions were horrible, and her boss was verbally abusive, but she had tenure. It was hard for her to quit, even in this situation, but it turned out to be a great decision. Facing unemployment is scary, and you should make sure you can handle it financially, but I would recommend getting out if you can.
