Am I crazy to leave a 6 figure salary job right now?

Would love people’s opinions on my situation!

I work in marketing, I’m about 5 years into my career, and got a job in October where I (just barely) make 6 figures. I appreciate that’s a lot of money, the most I’ve ever made, but also doesn’t get you far in my state. I’m not rich by any means, pays the bills and allows for some saving / fun, which is again more than most have right now.

I’m absolutely miserable every day at this job, and honestly have been at every (marketing) job I’ve ever had. I hate being on a screen for 8 hours and sitting at a desk, it gives me major back pain (in physical therapy for this). So many meetings that give me anxiety and I hate all the corporate bullshit, feels like in reality none of it really matters.

I feel like my life is wasting away. I’m very smart and a hard worker when I enjoy something, so I also feel like my talents are being wasted. I’m a childhood cancer survivor, so I really believe each day is a gift and find myself often thinking I’m wasting my second chance by spending 40 hours of the week on someone else’s itinerary.

When it comes to changing things up, I’m in total analysis paralysis. I have enough savings to live for several months without pay, so sometimes I think this may be the only way to force myself to pursue something else (my own business? A whole new career which may require significant pay cut or school again?), but in this uncertain economy, it feels soooo risky. I’ve tried to spend time on what my new career path should be, but feel so mentally stunned after a full day of work, it’s not really progressing.

So…what would y’all recommend?
