My job is fine, I just hate working

By most standards I hit the jackpot. I have an interesting job in a field I care about with great coworkers and an awesome manager. Im even getting some good professional development opportunities. But I'm still miserable and I don't know what to do about it. I have depression (on meds and in therapy) and that can't be helping, but I feel like having to go and do a thing at a place for 8 hours a day plus commute is slowly killing me. I don't even think I'd feel better if I was being paid better. I went to an interview today and realized that changing jobs won't make me feel better, probably. Not sure what will, or if I'm doomed to feeling like this until I die in the inevitable climate wars. Is there any way out of feeling this horrible about having to work for a living?…

Is there any way out of feeling this horrible about having to work for a living? I feel like a spoiled brat for even complaining when I know others have it way worse.
