How to deal with post-work exhaustion? (self.autism)

submitted 4 months ago by NationProtons to c/[email protected]

I feel so tired after half a day of work, never mind working a full day. After a couple of weeks of this, when i get home, i have no energy left for anything. Even things I usually enjoy.

Everything feels like a drag at that point and I can’t seem to do anything to improve this.

Doing this for a few more months usually ends up with me having to quit my job or i will get so tired and sick I can’t do anything anymore.

How to deal with this?

You might think so; But I used to do software, and now I'm starting retail on thursday. Wish me luck!

How do you pay rent? None of the jobs in retail here pay anything close to what you would need to make ends meet.

I guess living in Europe does something to lower your Cost Of Living; Also, I share my apartment with two other people, so we effectively divide rent by 3. That also helps.
