Work life balance

2 hours ago 3

Hi,

This seems to be a common topic, but thought i’d post anyway.

In my early 20’s, recently graduated university working in my studied field full time. Unfortunately, Im not really enjoying it and find myself constantly dreading going to work. Come Sunday, i spend it dreading work, i stay up late to maximise time away, i wake up tired and as late as possible before rushing to work without breakfast or lunch, gets an hour or two before i finish and i get excited, then at 5 im already dreading the next day. From thus, i spend my free time doing unproductive things that satisfy my brain, and the cycle continues. They’re 10 hour days - sometimes weekends in a field i’ve already lost interest in, and the thought of doing it for another 40 years id absolutely horrifying. My break point was this weekend, when i had an event on with some friends that travelled up from my home town and it was such a good time but the thought of going back to work wouldn’t get off my mind, and in ways ruined it.

I worked a job I absolutely hated after school. It was great hours/good pay but horrible work. I decided I wanted a more professional job and studied which i did so, landed a job, and experience similar feelings which is why i think it hits so hard.

How do i just enjoy life?
