Currently I am a uni student, working 4 days a week during the summer, moving to about 3 during term time.
Every day I’m not working I feel tired constantly, regardless of amount of sleep. I push through anyways to get the work that needs done finished, then sit down and just collapse basically. I wouldn’t even call it relax, just sit and switch off.
I don’t have any energy or motivation to play games anymore, even though I used to play avidly. I play guitar but it’s been feeling like I’m not getting as much out of it now…
Once I’m out of uni, I’ll be in full-time and, if I get into the industry I want, more mentally taxing work.
In short, is there something I’m missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire? Cause frankly I’m more sure I can be arsed if not…
EDIT
Thanks for the responses, I kinda posted this in a moment of hopelessness for life and I don’t really know what I wanted as a response.
Asking for the meaning of life? Lemmy’s great and all, but I don’t think I’ll find it here lmao
Regardless, there’s a few things here for me to look into and take further, so thank you again!

Just sounds like Vitamin D deficit, or something else related to not getting proper rest from sleep. This is not typical of someone your age.
Funny enough, I’m only saying this because I hate how fast some general practitioners are at diagnosing it, so the irony isn’t lost on me. But you’re actually stating the issues, and not just saying “I’m a programmer/factory worker” which is all it takes with them and why I despise it.
Get a blood test done if you want to make sure. Don’t just listen to the internet.
