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 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?

        There is truth in that.

        I actually like the things I do for work though. Or at least I like doing those things by myself for fun.

        After having worked in the field for a few years, I noticed my enjoyment seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it’s the hours, or perhaps it’s the way that business can make anything boring. But I just didn’t like doing these things anymore.

        And if I don’t like the things I really enjoyed in the past, then it feels like I will surely not like those things i disliked in the past.

        I will still try though. But not easy to experiment with new things when you feel like you’re in survival mode all the time.
