Lots of great advice on this thread, but here's a different way of looking at things:
If you like programming itself, don't pull the parachute cord on it just yet. There are plenty of companies that aren't tech companies that need programmers -- maybe that's less pressure mentally and from actual demands from the job? Something to think about, at least.
Also, consider a secondary skill or interest and mull over what kind of company could benefit from the intersection of that and your programming skills. (That's somewhat inspired by this: https://medium.com/the-mission/make-the-pursuit-of-curiosity...)
This. I couldn't/can't pass a programmer interview at BigCo but I'm capable at LoB software that loads of business need. It's mostly script languages, moving data, integration of existing systems. Loads of "un-sexy" problems to solve, decent pay, lower stress, get to be a polyglot, big-fish, small pond.
