Feeling like I'm going to break

A month ago I quit my job, after 2 years of a new manager who had dreams of everyone around him being slave labour after he took things way too far and was caught red handed bullying staff into 3 am starts for a 9-5 job, forcing them to work for 15 hour days without break and intentionally creating "emergencies" over the top of peoples day's off and personal arrangements.
Sadly this hasn't been the first, second or even third job I've had to leave because bully culture and its left me unemployed working UberEats, feeling like there is no point to trying to get ahead anymore as its hopeless.
Too make matters worse, today I went to do a trial in my former trade (baking) and couldn't complete the shift due to my lower back playing up out of nowhere - leaving me feeling useless.
I'm now at home, with a hole of pain were my back is meant to be, with no idea how to proceed forward with my mind feeling like a cracked glass likely to shatter at a single bad tap.
I don't know what I should do............

Depression is treatable but must be diagnosed by a health care professional

Hey Zallin,
I just wanted to let you know you're not alone, and it's really good that you've reached out here.
Bullying is absolutely atrocious and I'm so sorry you've experienced it in so many jobs.
It sounds like you're really struggling with your feelings. You are NOT worthless or useless, and i am really glad you're here on the forums now.
You can talk here as much as you like, we'll listen to you and support you.
Gentle thoughts to you.
