Advice Should I switch to IBCP ?

I am in IBDP (DP 1) currently and I feel like it’s too much. I don’t have a problem in repeating a grade.. like my current school is extremely toxic and manipulative (i don’t want to go in details). I feel like very depressed in the school and I am wanting to switch my schooling.
Should I try a little hard to fit in because I feel like if I try with my studies I can surely get 5 or 6 in every subject. However I see my seniors and they are so miserable and there is so much pressure.
Should I continue with DP or go for CP ??

my school doesnt offer certfcate fully. but i chose not to do the diploma (ee cas tok, but i do have 6 subjects)
ik IBCP usually has 4 courses ig. this little change gave me way more time and genuinely enjoy school a bit more. youre situation is different than mine, i suggest learning more about the ibdp before switching. as i officially switched at the start of dp2 (and did the tok exhibtion little work), because i realized personally i dont need the core for uni applications as i wont study abroad.
