Should I quit my job that is affecting my mental health and focus on a career change?

I’ve been at my company for about a year now and work on the marketing team. Soon after I joined, I started to feel overwhelmed. I was hired to do one job, but it quickly turned into me doing what could easily be two people’s full time jobs and what felt like 4 different bosses from various departments - each with their own ideas on what my priorities should be like. On top of always having an insane amount of execution work to do, I’ve been looped into so many meetings that my time to actually do work has severely been cut down.

I’ve expressed to management that I’m overwhelmed and burnt out. They agree that I’m doing a lot but have no immediate solutions for me. It’s just “this isn’t forever. We will eventually hire more people”.

I’ve also been half-promised a promotion multiple times that then gets turned into a “oh probably not anytime soon” conversation. I’m being gaslighted constantly with this and other projects.

I’ve been feeling super depressed and anxious. Even starting to have mental breakdowns and suicidal thoughts again. Barely sleeping throughout the work week...

Given my experience here and at other companies, I have decided I don’t want to be in marketing anymore. I want to get into data analytics - I like coding and problem solving. Given what I know, I think it would be a good fit. I have started self study to learn SQL and brush up on stats. But it’s hard to keep the plates spinning at work while I feel so crappy mentally and also have the mental bandwidth to study and retain information. I can’t apply to jobs until I feel comfortable with SQL.

Should I try to stick it out while I study and can apply? Or is it best to quit my job before my mental health suffers even more and dip into my savings? I have enough money to last me a bit but I would rather not touch it unless I need to. Thank you in advance for your advice.

TL;DR: my job is making me suicidal and affecting my sleep and sanity. I want to switch careers to data analytics. Do I quit now to study SQL or do I stick it out and work/study at the same time?
