Is It Just Me, or Is Work Just... Too Much? 😩

I've only been working full-time for five years, but honestly, I already feel like I'm running on empty. My job lets me work from home, my bills are paid, and I even managed a two-week trip abroad recently. On paper, it sounds pretty great, right? But every day, I catch myself daydreaming about quitting and living off passive income, just so I can finally do what I actually enjoy. What really confuses me is that my parents have worked for decades without ever complaining this much. They just get on with it, while I feel completely drained and unmotivated—even though I spent years and thousands of dollars on a master’s degree for this exact career. I don’t even have the energy to chase a higher salary or a new job. Is anyone else stuck in a "good" situation but still hates working? I’d really love to hear how others deal with this kind of burnout. 😕 #CareerBurnout #WorkLifeStruggles #SeekingAdvice #JobCareer

Is This Really the Rest of My Life? 😅

Some days, sitting at my desk in this endless sea of cubicles, I wonder if this is it. I’ve only been at this job for a year, but the thought of doing this routine for decades makes my head spin. It’s not that my job is terrible—my coworkers are fine, the work is manageable—but the monotony is suffocating. When I finally get home, I’m supposed to squeeze in cooking, cleaning, and somehow stay healthy? By the time I blink, it’s Sunday night and I feel like I barely existed outside of work. The weekends vanish faster than my motivation on Monday mornings. Is this what adulthood is supposed to feel like—a never-ending loop? Honestly, I’m reaching out because I’m stuck. How do you deal with this feeling? Do you just accept it, fight it, or is there some secret I’m missing? I’d love to hear how others cope, because right now, it feels like I’m drowning in the daily grind. 😩 #WorkLifeStruggles #CareerQuestions #Adulting #JobCareer
