I myself have been in a situation that was making me ill - as someone who worked as an independent in my job. I did not have to pay to leave though. But one place - I had an operation before I took the contract there, so I wasn't feeling brilliant. But the atsmosphere, the people, the back-stabbing and nastiness. It became an effort to walk through the door and it just got worse. I ended up on medication - unfortunately not only did it not work, it made feel as if I was going bonkers (small percent of people got that apparently and I was one of them).
So I quit. Having taken time off because of my op I was worried about not paying the mortgage etc , but with a marketable skill set I easily got another contract - it was 1.5 hour drive away instead of just across the river, but the people were great, I got on with my boss, senior management listened, they thought highly of me, and I recovered 'me' fairly quickly.
So I know - it isn't worth it and if you cannot carry on, then don't.
Seek legal advice. You may be able to nullify the contract if you have to leave because of ill health. And it's making you ill, so.....
**hug** whatever you do.
Oh - one thing that helped me was getting a Shiatsu or osteopathy deep tissue massage twice a week. Released the tight muscles which helped.
