The job market is not good right now. If you have savings or can gig work while you search then leaving is an option. If you don't then I would say try to white-knuckle your way through.

society is all like “consistency is key” “just stick it out” “it doesn’t look good on a resume to leave before a couple years” (first job out of school) but let me tell you something!!!! trying to make yourself look good on paper is not worth the mental and emotional strain if you hate your job, do not waste your time. Maybe you need a few months to sus it out, sure don’t give up day 1. But never ever ever get too comfortable in a situation you do not like in the first place!!!!! You have got to be your biggest advocate. Otherwise you’ll be the only one out here not looking out for your own best interest, and people will use that to their advantage

Not only could that mere 10 minute lunch be breaking labor laws depending on where you live, but the implication that you don't have value a couple months in is a huge red flag. They hired you, therefore you have value to them, and they are invested in your success. Either they're trying to play mental games early on to squeeze more out of you than is reasonable, or they're not doing their job in providing enough resources to get the job done under healthy conditions. It’s worth noting whether this is a company-wide culture issue, or if it’s just your direct manager too.
I don't know the job or what the boss meant by 'work harder,' but it can take anywhere from 1 to 2 years to truly learn a job. Given that it's also your first 'real' gig, there's a whole other dynamic of getting used to a workplace environment, and it's their job to help acclimate you to it. Keep your options open, "manage up" (give honest feedback to your manager about how you feel), connect with your colleagues in the meantime to put pressure on management to change their ways, have your resume updated. If you're starting to burn out and you need to jump ship, it's best to have things in order already, so that stressful situation isn't made worse by feeling like you have to do even more stressful tasks in order to find something else.
tl;dr that’s ass.

Why? Because I’m unemployed, and I'm not sure how to pass the time while waiting for responses.

When I stopped thinking about "fixing my life" and "getting disciplined" and started focusing on how nice I would feel in my clean room, how calm I would feel if I maintained my calendar, and how good I would feel eating 3 healthy meals, it became much easier. It feels like you are indulging in the good stuff rather than punishing yourself with it.

bump of dopamine when I look at it, never lose my phone, phone protected, feels like a part of my identity

For the past few weeks... months? I've been having
Two fried eggs in corn tortillas with chipotle hot sauce
Korean bbq style pork and rice
A spinach and fruit smoothie with protein powder and collagen
Rice Krispie treats or a handle full of chocolate chips.
I'll double up, I'll mix the order around, and I'll have chocolate chips for breakfast. But it's mostly these same foods over and over. I always found repetitive eating a little weird but here I am. One part of me knows I am a little depressed, but the other part loves to have at least one familiar and totally brain-free part of my life.
