I just started this job and my boss is unbearable. Bi-polar maybe. Not that this is a bad thing but difficult to want to stay at my job. I've developed some anxiety and am worried that I have made a terrible mistake accepting this job. I want to start searching for another job but do I add this current job to my resume?

You do NOT have to add every job you've ever had on your resume. In fact, it's frowned upon from the standpoint that you working at Burger King doesn't have any bearing on you working for a CPA firm (unless you were the manager). It is not necessairly a bad thing for you to add this job to your resume if it is going to be RELEVANT EXPERIENCE to what you have now - but if this is a job as oppopsed to a career - I'd leave the job off. It's not illegal or unethical if this is what you're worried about.
And as always, if you're really unhappy where you are, find a new job before you leave your current job, but be seriously looking!
Good luck!

I accepted a job once,where my boss was a neighbor of my brothers and they had a run in.The boss took it out on me every day I was there,which was only about a month.Anyway I did not put that job on any resume because I was unsure of what he might say and also it looks bad to prospective employers if you only worked a month at a place.

NO..but quit now in fairness to your current employer and go find another job... don't lead them along ..not fair to them!
The sooner you find another job the less time it looks like you havebeen unemployed. If you show you worked 1 month here, 2 months somewhere else, 4 months here, etc. then a potential employer will NOT hire you..you will look like a flake who will probably only last a few months with them.

Leaving gaps on a resume is frowned upon. BUT if you have a good reason, it may be acceptable. So, in your case, you could maybe get away with a 1 month gap, if you state something like "Short Holiday in Aspen". The only downside is if you get caught out, but you might well get away with it.

I guess you should.
esp if you did pretty well in the company. (just in case the company decides to call up your previous company to ask about you)
But if they ask about the reason for quitting your previous job, you might have to give a pretty nice reason. because i dont think they would wanna have the thinking that you just wanna use their company as a stepping stone.
however, if your reputation is not really good in your current company, i suggest you keep it off the resume.
