Running out of ideas to stay sane

I’m currently working 4 ten hour days a week at a job I relatively enjoy.

It’s been suggested to me to try & start my own business or something of the sort. Again I don’t see this as purposeful. Why is purpose either work for someone or yourself. I just want to do a small amount of work to take care of my needs but that’s not an option. I don’t know how to stay sane when my own mind is in conflict with my daily actions.

Feeling burnt out & can’t see an end in sight.
