Serious question -- do you enjoy your job? Every time I talk to an attorney, they all say the same shit. "This sucks, this was a massive mistake, I'm constantly overworked and incredibly stressed out all the time" etc. What does the workday look like for you? What do you do at work? Do they pay you well enough to put 'do I like or not like this' aside?

Every day is a little different, but the perfectly average day is 70% reading terms, 20% writing drafts, and 10% meetings. Sometimes I get to do legal research which I really enjoy. I work plaintiff side so no billable hours. I also have the privilege of only going into the office twice a week.

I'm generally done with my work by 5PM, but yeah sometimes you have hell weeks.
Between undergrad and law school I worked at an Amazon warehouse for about a year and that was undoubtedly the most miserable time of my entire life. I sit in an air conditioned office and I read/write all day for 6 figs. Its not that bad.
Lawyers tend to come from very privileged backgrounds (I among them) and tend to bitch about everything as a result. The only reason I am a little more self aware is because I am diagnosed bipolar and I know what its like to go a little insane.
