How should I behave if my boss is using psychologically abuse to force me to quit?
Threats to fire, unannounced pay check cut, removed privileges such as overtime, make up for time, and being his right arm. He ignores any form of written communication I send him and gets very irritated and nervous when he talks to me in person. He asks me to do a task and a few days later says It’s not important and I’m waisting resources.

From what you have written, it appears that your presence at work is no longer wanted where it might be in your best interests to start looking for another job elsewhere. You need to be aware that under the laws of all states in this country everyone is terminable at the will of an employer subject to a written contract and laws against discrimination.
If you have a human resources department at work, you should document what is happening between you and your boss. You might also consider consulting with a labor attorney as to what other options you might have while you remain an employee at the place you work at presently.
