Dunno how else to call it. Got me a job. It's not a bad job. I like the work I do, I tolerate the people there, the hours are not long, it's unionised so they can't harrass me when I'm off the clock, it pays the bills I got.

.... But god damn. Once I'm home I lack the drive to do literally anything.

I've stopped going to gym, I often eat junk cuz I just don't wanna cook, even my hobbies are being left to gather dust. After working my 9-to-5 I just wanna lie down and rot until it's work time again.

So the question is, how do the better-adjusted adults handle this?

Get off the crack. No social media, gaming, or serie etc.

Get fucking bored and you'll wanna do something that's worth doing (in your POV)

    Gaming away from mtx and daily reward grinds, and also single player experiences without the competitive pressure can be beneficial. It is also a low effort activity that distracts from work only mindsets and it's been proven to be a net positive for rest in contrast with social media doom scrolling.
