Should I resign from a data analyst position that is causing me constant mental stress, even though I don't have another offer?
I honestly feel lost and exhausted and could really use some advice from people who have been in a similar situation. I've been working remotely as a data analyst from past 2 years, and for the past 2 weeks I've noticed a significant change in how I'm being treated at work. I'm not being invited to meetings where things related to work/tasks are being discussed. Instead, I see my colleagues being included and important things being discussed with them, while I'm left out. I'm also not being given much proper work from past few weeks. Whatever work I get, I complete it and genuinely put in my best effort.
What makes it worse is that my boss keeps saying things "maintain your credibility" and that the work I've done is still doubtful/questionable. Honestly, hearing this repeatedly is affecting me mentally. I don't even argue with anyone or create problems. I just do my work, share updates, and try to be as transparent as possible. I am sole working in data there and have no team with me todisccus things with them. So I genuinely don't understand what I'm doing wrong or why this behavior has suddenly started.
Part of me really wants to resign because I'm constantly stressed and exhausted. But then reality hits: I have a family to support, and I can't simply leave without another job. Finding a job is already extremely difficult right now.
I've actually been applying continuously for around 8 months, but I haven't even been getting interview calls just got 1 and they didnt respond back after interview. That's probably the biggest reason I'm scared to resign. What if I leave and then can't find anything for months? At the same time, staying here is also affecting my health and mind constantly. I'm constantly overthinking why I'm being excluded, whether I'm doing something wrong, and whether my job is at risk and if they are going to layoffme.
For those of you who have been through something similar:
Would you resign without having another offer, or would you stay and keep applying until you have something secured?
And if you've dealt with being excluded from meetings or suddenly treated differently by your boss and people around, how did you handle it?
