Depends on how "big" that paycheck is. While everyone would like to say that money isn't everything, that is not how it seems when a person if faced with high bills. Yes, in an ideal world a person would not have to sacrifice their mental health in order to provide for their family, but that is not the way it is for the majority of us.
You learn to cope with the stress. You learn how to perform your job in a manner where the pressure of deadlines and supervisors is either avoided or ignored -- lots of experience. You get so comfortable with how to do the high stress job that you find yourself anticipating problems and having solutions in your back pocket. As a last resort you get medical help just so you do not lose your job.
I see lots of people who are working in high stress jobs or multiple jobs just to make enough money to support their family. In our current economic climate just keeping a job is stressful.

If the aggravation is from colleagues, do not let them push you out. Stay, fight and change things.
If the aggravation is from your immediate superior, warn him and then report him/her for bulling to more senior managers, personnel etc.
If aggravation is endemic to the company and you do not see it ending, then find a similar job and leave. You are at work for at least half your life, and it is too long to suffer.

ah yes i have, i worked as a boat tech. at all----- marine inc, making really good money, I absolutly loved my job, but working for the three brothers that owned the company was miserable, they made my easy job verry difficult, they would lie to the costomers and i would have to keep the lie going so the company would not look bad, and thats just the begining of things i cannot go into detail on some things but one thing that they made me do was reshedule a surgury that i needed because it was one of their buisy weekends, so they made me put them first before anything else, so ya to your question i left as soon as i found another oppertunity, and i took a good paycut, but im happy now jobwise, maybe not finantually but were making it alright.

It is not worth it if it is impacting my mental health or my family's happiness.

Many, many people do. Only you can decide what is the proper balance.
