I find that I have absolutely no energy to do anything besides get high after work. I go to the gym, do like 1 pullup and I am fucking destroyed, and I’m not the most out of shape person in existence despite my job being a desk job (for the most part). I don’t go out, I have no friends partially because I moved to a new place 6 months ago.

Please no ‘you don’t’ or ‘welcome to life under kkkapitalism’, only false promises.

I push myself to do things I don't feel like doing for the sake of the task and alternate plenty of self care. For example, I just finished my particular part of a community project yesterday. It required getting up before daylight in order to care for fur babies, eat something and groom before hitting the door. It was physically and mentally taxing, but I still had to eat, bathe, care for pets after, unwind, sleep. Unwinding and sleep took a bit longer some evenings than others. Today I didn't do jack but sleep, eat, care for pets. I'm about to bathe and get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be imposing some sort of order on the chaos of neglect at home. It won't be everything that needs be done or even what I think is acceptable. If one room is done well, that's just fine. Another room another day.

Thank you for this comment.

The only issue with your prescription is that my unwind period is seriously 1-3 days

You're welcome. That's ok. Just get started then rest, get started then rest.
