Work-life with ADHD is draining me of all energy and will to live

Waking up at 6am to leave at 7am and arrive at work by 07:45. 11am I take 30 minutes break that goes by when I blink, then finish at 14-15pm. This is the routine many people follow. I come home absolutely exhausted and either sleep from 16 until 20-21, or rot in bed. My meds make me kinda sleepy too, I fell asleep at work today. Making dinner and eating lunch are not priorities when I run out in the morning and wake up in the afternoon. So I’m malnourished in addition. Laundry piling up all week and other chores. It takes ALL my energy going to work in the morning and staying there all day with stupid rules like no phone even when there’s nothing to do. Even when I have evening shifts I can’t seem to focus on anything else than having work later. I just HATE work…

Even when I have evening shifts I can’t seem to focus on anything else than having work later. I just HATE work and I hate the early mornings, long hours, stupid rules, stupid conversations. 5 times a week? When am I supposed to live and not feel sluggish the rest of the day? Is there any way to deal with this life without pushing yourself to burnout??
