I hate my new job. TW: I mention my mental health declining.

I (24f) just moved to a new state and city to live with my boyfriend (24m) of four years. Before I moved I had a job (baker/baking manager/barista) that I absolutely loved. I was so sad to leave that job but I was super excited to move as well. I decided to get more of a “big girl” job when moving down here. I got a job as a medical receptionist in a dr’s office and my mental health has declined significantly. I’ve raised dosages of my ADHD AND anxiety/depression medication since starting this job and I’ve only been working there for a little less than 6 months. Now it is not the entire reason that I’ve not been myself lately. I’ve been homesick and missing my family of course but I dread waking up every morning and going back to this place. The people are nice enough, some of them annoy me but that’s not the point. I get to work around 7:45 in the morning and we leave around 5 pm every day. I find it so beyond depressing that so many of us, generally speaking, waste our lives away at a job that doesn’t make us happy. I leave in the morning as the sun is rising and I get home as the sun is setting and that is so pathetic and mentally draining to me. My whole day, gone, and it’s from spending my entire day at a place that drains all my happiness. The weekends are filled with dreading the fact that I have to go back and I don’t want to make any enemies or anything by quitting after only a few months but ive had a job that made me feel this way once before and leaving was the best decision I’ve ever made. Not to mention I don’t make as much as I used to when I was at the bakery/coffee shop and I worked from 8-2 or 8-3 there while I’m working 7:45-5 now. As a little price discrepancy, I make on average $900-1000 every two weeks at this new job, but at the coffee shop I worked at before I moved I made on average $650-700 every week. I got paid weekly there and I get paid biweekly here. I just cannot justify my mental health declining because of a job that I get paid less at. I would stick it out if I was making better money because I’m a big kid now and have bills to pay but I’m just really struggling. I don’t know what to do or what’s acceptable. I’m home sick today and while I’m feeling really crappy, I’m happy I don’t have to go in. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I tell my boyfriend everything so he knows what’s going on and he’s been super helpful but I need advice on how a responsible adult should handle this situation because unfortunately the adult handbook I had got lost in the move… (joke). I’ll take any form of advice. Thanks.
