How do I know if it’s me?

I loathe my job. And I actually like to work. I like to feel productive and social and I hate being idle. But the management is toxic. Very in to favoritism, cliques, passive-aggressive retaliation, no support whatsoever. The raises are minuscule with little hope for more. There’s constant push to work and achieve more, more, more, with no break or give. My current pay is so-so but there are good benefits. So my question is…how do you know when a job is worth it or when it’s too taxing on your mental health? I lie awake with anxiety thinking about being there and I feel miserable but I do have vacation time and insurance. So in this current climate, how do you decide if a job is worth it or not? Am I just being unappreciative?
