working at the warehouse got me some health problems

hi, i've been working at a warehouse full time, 8-4 for 5 months already and it gets worse and worse for me each day. it's a chemist-pharmaceutic warehouse, so the main problem is not carrying heavy things, but that i have to walk ≥20 km daily to collect things for online orders or stand for the entire day when it's my “turn” to get those packed (actually we don't have such thing as a turns, some people are boxing things up 95% of their time, and I do something like 90% walking and 10% for packing, the reason is that people who are getting those parcels packed suck at collecting and for the better warehouse efficiency managers don't think about changing it). Here it's important to mention that I have been on a weightloss journey before i got this job (which is my first job) and successfully lost 30kg coming…


hi, i've been working at a warehouse full time, 8-4 for 5 months already and it gets worse and worse for me each day. it's a chemist-pharmaceutic warehouse, so the main problem is not carrying heavy things, but that i have to walk ≥20 km daily to collect things for online orders or stand for the entire day when it's my “turn” to get those packed (actually we don't have such thing as a turns, some people are boxing things up 95% of their time, and I do something like 90% walking and 10% for packing, the reason is that people who are getting those parcels packed suck at collecting and for the better warehouse efficiency managers don't think about changing it). Here it's important to mention that I have been on a weightloss journey before i got this job (which is my first job) and successfully lost 30kg coming down to 75 kg for 180 cm height, that was my goal and was holding it this way for many weeks, so i think no malnutrition or anorexia symptoms have taken place, i even could go and play soccer with friends after clocking out during the first month and was basically feeling good. Problem occured after 3 more months as I feel like i'm progressively losing weight, muscles, and energy. bathroom scale tells 68-69 kilograms, up to 7 kilograms less than I wanted and was happy with. Also there's a very little chance i can be able to spend time actively after work and that's just sad for me that i have to give up on things i love doing to get a rest (still not regenerating) for doing the same thing another day. And that's something that takes away my happiness and harms my mental health – repetitiveness. I just can't understand how i'm pushed to do the same things over and over. I hate how i am not learning anything new and do absolutely no progress for months already, i don't have energy left to work on something on my own when i get home. it's just eating, sleeping, working and stressing. I honestly was not ready for this, I'm just 19, stepping into adulthood and that's how it all starts. I go to university in October to run away from it and maybe get myself better perspectives for my future, but it's still a lot of time till it starts and i fear that it may get worse, but i will be in need of money, so idk if it's right to leave like at the end of this month, because i won't be able to find something better for a few weeks. When I will be in the university i will still be living with my parents just as i do now and it's also not giving me much hope, because… they are not good parents i'd say and living more years with them is not something i want. I wasn't able to rent a place for my own as in the country i live in you gotta make much more than minimum wage to comfortably rent a 20m², unfurnished flat in a city of 200.000 inhabitants.
What may be the best thing i can do now?

PS.
It's important to put it in my post, but idk where to fit it now when i'm done lol:
1. I eat healthy things and I don't eat less than i did in the past, I'd say i eat the same amount of food, but replaced empty calories and unhealthy stuff with better quality meals.
2. Sorry if it all makes little sense, english is not my native language.
3. It's kind of a vent post
