Do you ever think..

You just live to work? I’m mentally and physically exhausted. I like my job but I feel like I barely have a life outside of it, almost all my money goes into bills, what’s the end goal here.

No. I always made time for family and outside activities away from work. There were some extremely busy times, such as when we were writing proposals, and I had to work longer hours. Fortunately, I was in a position that allowed me some freedom to set my own schedule.

@exexec I just feel like I don’t have the energy to do anything else. All my energy goes into work. I have a few health conditions that mean I have low energy too, adds to it a lot.

@DHggmu I am sorry you are in that type of work and health situation. If your company has a good Human Relations person/staff, it would be good to talk to them. If it continues to be a burden, a career change would be in order, if possible.
