Why do I feel so bad when I’m not working

Hi all. I was laid off in December and I feel like total shit that I'm not working right now, but the thing is I hate working. I enjoy all the time I have when I get home and spending time with my wife and son. I have this weird mental thought process where I feel like a total failure if I'm not working. Thankfully I do freelance work that almost pays as much as my old full time job, but when I have downtime I feel like I'm not doing enough. Why do I feel this way? Anyone else relate?
