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?

Not in one field specifically. But I have the most experience in software engineering, functional analysis, and tutoring (university-level)

Have you considered switching professions?

What about retail worker in a grocery store?

Telling a software engineer to work retail is a punch in the gut.

I have considered changing professions in the past, but i don’t think I could do a switch at this moment.

I don’t think i could easily find a job in a different field and I’m a bit worried that I would get lost and lose energy, even in seemingly simple jobs.

I understand that.

I was just considering that maybe, if you try something different, you might find a surprising amount of satisfaction in it; and be grateful for some change?
