I feel so tired after half a day of work, never mind working a full day. After a couple of weeks of this, when i get home, i have no energy left for anything. Even things I usually enjoy.
Everything feels like a drag at that point and I can’t seem to do anything to improve this.
Doing this for a few more months usually ends up with me having to quit my job or i will get so tired and sick I can’t do anything anymore.
How to deal with this?
I think not having time for myself to just think or relax can be one of the most demotivating things to realize.
I understand that I need to work to earn money to survive, but when I’m working, I start having difficulties staying on top of chores and I don’t really have energy left to enjoy what little time remains.
This quickly turns into exhaustion, depression and whatnot. Which eventually lowers my performance at work until I just have to quit to recover.
When out of a job, I tend to recover decently over a period of a few months. But soon I’ll have bills to pay and no money left, so back to work it is. And the cycle repeats.
Oh my performance is certainly lower but my pay has not kept up with inflation so do my 40, take an hour lunch each day, and muddle through that as well. Exhaustion and depression my wife and I have in spades but its not like its for no reason. Hardships abound. I get ya though. If I was not married im not sure I would be able to keep working steady in this state but I have to keep our health insurance going.
