Start interviewing at a few places. You'll realize you're horrible at it. But keep interviewing. Doing leetcode doesn't compare to just having the experience. Figure out what you need to improve on, which algos you struggle with, Coding Qs, Behavioural Qs. Interviews become easier once you figure out it's just a matter of applying a few rehearsed algos and rehearsed answers in different ways. There's only so many ways to ask "tell us about a difficult problem/coworker at work"
Polish your resume up, talk to your co-workers and friends if you need help explaining/remembering what you did. Re-write it three times until it looks good.
If you do this, you'll have something better lined up within a few months and some time to decompress and time to renew your skills and confidence in programming. Whenever I quit, I always remember why i enjoyed programming in the first place.

To the downvoters, let me ask you this: how many Americans have been driven into medical bankruptcy while their doctors are living in multi-million dollar McMansions? The system in America is the way doctors have designed it. They have outsized political power; legislators heed their lobbyists. They created and perpetuated this system so they could profit from it. They have been hoisted by their own petard.
There’s nothing like finding an old picture and feeling the wave of nostalgia, slight disbelief, and warm memories.
