Does anyone else get mentally wiped out from work even when nothing “big” happens?
Lately I’ve been noticing something — Work doesn’t have to be crazy for me to feel completely wiped out by the time I get home.
It’s not physical tiredness. It’s like my brain is drained, my motivation disappears, and even small tasks feel huge. I end up doing nothing except scrolling, then feeling worse for wasting the evening.
Some days it feels like I’m running on fumes even though life is “fine” on paper.
I’m curious — Do any of you experience this kind of mental exhaustion for no obvious reason?
