Pay the fools no heed. It it brings in money, it's real work. And it can bring in big bucks - think of J. K. Rowling. She also wrote in bars.
As for writing being hard work, well, welcome to the real world. Writing is damned hard work. Hemingway said something to the effect that he might take a holiday from writing and work as a ditch digger.
As for the malaise, that goes with any really creative work. You get deeply down into your psyche, down in the deep basement where strange half-formed notions and the ghosts of ideas live. It is sometimes called "dedifferentiation". and it can be really distressing. That's why writers have to be tough.
