I haven't been in your situation, but my advice is to GET OUT. If this is your first job out of school, you are way too young to be miserable! There are a million things you could do and you do not want to wake up 5 years from now and realize that you are in a career or work environment that made you unhappy from the get go....As far as worrying that your company will be upset if you left because of what they've spent training you, don't give that a second thought! If the company wanted to fire you, they would do so without hesitation, so don't give them consideration that they wouldn't give you!
As far as the references go, I do think that is a legitimate concern, but most people looking for jobs are likely also in that situation (i.e., leaving one job and don't want to tip people off that they are going/piss people off by asking for a reference) so I am sure there is some way that this is handled....
GOOD LUCK!
