Nikki,
A couple years ago, I had a job with a mean manager, similar to yours. I quit on the spur of the moment and spent about five months in unemployment (but uneligible for any benefits) living at my parent's house. I thought I couldn't get a new job because I didn't think I had any references. But I sent out resumes anyway, just didn't use anyone from that job as a reference. I got back into working by taking on part-time tutoring. Then, after several months of part-time work, I got a full time job where the work isn't always interesting but the people are very nice (though they do snoop a little about my dr's appts, which annoys me).
Find a job where there are nice people and good managers! Send out resumes immediately. You don't have to leave your job, just start sending out resumes. A good company will understand that you have had a bad experience with your current employer. Good managers know about bad ones.
