Started job as bookkeeper for public accounting firm last year. It's causing extreme stress. If I resign due to it causing anxiety related health issues, can I collect unemployment (NJ). If so do I need doctors confirmation before resigning?

If you resign, no unemployment

I don’t think unemployment works that way.
Look at your employee assistance program for mental health support to deal with your stress and anxiety.
