Help! Ok, I don't understand what I'm doing and I'm so upset right now because they did it to me AGAIN.

So I haven't been outright fired this time. Instead the owner wants me to go to contract labor which sounds about 14 hours a week. Maybe. I make $12 an hour and normally work 40 hours a week. I just got the raise, and my boss was talking about how good I am and how excellently I do my job, publicly praising me, and all the rest. My boss didn't even know the owner was going to do this and says they have been arguing about it for months because my boss wants me to continue working the way that I am because she wants everything done but he wants to say to hell with anything more than a year old and ignore it (even though legally he can't do that because all the taxes and the like need to be accurate).
Now I don't know what to do. Yes, first thing is look for a new job, but I had to take TWO anxiety pills today to stay calm and not sit here bawling like a baby. I took one at 3 am last night, and then another at 2 pm today.
I am NOT in condition to look for another job right now, I need at least a couple days before I start doing anything.
But I am sooooo confused. I don't know whether I am actually going to go to contract work, or if I'm going to part time employee or anything because my boss hasn't answered her phone or called me back with my messages so I don't know what's going on.
BUT, I also know that as a contractor I'd have to pay the taxes on my own and file quarterly, then make a final filing at the end up the year. I NEED to keep money coming in while I look for another job. I have bills to pay so I can't exactly say no.
So if I were to continue to want my take home to be $12 an hour? How much should I ask for to ensure that my taxes are paid since I have to pay income tax and self employment tax? And frankly, I'm tempted to ask for more like $15 an hour.
Please help. I left a call for an accountant to ask these questions but he's gone and I am so lost.
