Graduating law school, Don’t want to work, suicidal. Suggestions?

It's been three years since my first Internship that I realised I don't want to work. Being a lawyer requires me to work 12-14 hours a day, most of the times even the weekends are not free. The work is brutal and the people that I've meet in law firms have absolutely no empathy for each other. My peers are passionate about working in law firms but I don't understand how they aren't disillusioned from the work that they are made to do. Legal internships in my country are unpaid and we have to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I'm graduating soon and I'm extremely anxious depressed about my career. Anyone here who has found some kind some solution to surviving doing work that gives them some sort of mental peace? How have you made your lives more bearable?
