I’m exhausted everyday from work. I have chronic neck pain from sitting in front of my computer all day with minimal breaks. I’m mentally drained at the end of the day and all I want to do is lay in bed. People keep telling me to find hobbies or go out because I’m young and I won’t have the energy as I get older. But I just don’t have the energy now. So much of our time is consumed by work. I don’t have the energy to go out at night to bars or sometimes even to restaurants. I have less energy to pursue hobbies, join different communities and interest groups, and sometimes even going out to meet friends is tiring. I feel like so much of my time is decompressing and trying to relax after work. It’s also running errands, keeping my home clean, cooking, and all the other responsibilities. I’m in my mid 20s but feel kind of helpless since my entire life is now about work. I see those around me always out and about hanging with friends and going out many nights. My parents tell me I need to socialize more and leave the house more. How do I do that when I’m so so tired every day? How do people find the energy to do anything else? Do I just need to get over the fact that we need to work the majority of our lives away? Just accept it and find positivity elsewhere? I’m not sure how to do that.
