There is literally no reason for it.
Have you had thorough blood work done recently. I mean ALL hormones, B vitamins, vitamin D, your thyroid, etc.? Many of these affect your sleep, which will in turn affect your general mood. Sometimes the fix is as easy as getting those leveled out.

happiness hits its peak about the time you make it to where you can afford all your bills and have a little left over. after that more money is meaningless.
learn to live cheap and get there faster. Stop caring what anyone else thinks and you wont need to impress them.
I don't bring in a lot, but its still about 30k more than i need.
to think i used to sleep in a 98 plymouth grand voyager.
the grind is for suckers. enjoy life. guys who work 60-80 hours a week are idiots.

How old are you baw? What’s your situation? This impacts the practical advice I’d offer.

Check your testosterone levels . Also get a cpap machine possibly for the poor sleep at night . Also low t levels can be from poor sleep .

I live with worse. Depression from my spouse dying… it’s unbearable to go on at times.

Feeling like every day is the same can be incredibly frustrating and draining, and while some of it may be tied to the responsibilities of adulthood, it doesn’t have to feel this way forever. Here are some ideas to help shake things up and break out of that rut:
Reignite Your Sense of Purpose
1. Set small, exciting goals: Find something to look forward to—a hobby, a short-term project, or a new skill to learn. It could be as simple as cooking a new dish or starting a small DIY project.
2. Reflect on what energizes you: Revisit activities or interests that used to bring you joy. Sometimes reconnecting with your passions can reignite enthusiasm for life.
Change Your Routine
1. Tweak your morning ritual: Even a small shift, like taking 10 minutes to stretch, meditate, or journal, can set a different tone for the day.
2. Add novelty: Take a different route to work, rearrange your workspace, or try something you’ve never done before (a new class, meeting new people, etc.).
Prioritize Sleep
While you mentioned sleep as a separate issue, improving it could greatly impact how you feel overall. Consider setting a wind-down routine or seeking professional advice if insomnia persists.
Move Your Body
Exercise can work wonders for breaking up monotony. Even a short daily walk outdoors can boost your mood and reset your mind.
Seek Connection
1. Talk to someone about this feeling: Sharing your thoughts with a trusted friend, partner, or therapist can help you feel less isolated.
2. Engage socially: Doing something with others, even casually, can help create new and positive experiences.
Practice Gratitude
Try ending each day by writing down one thing that made you smile or feel accomplished, no matter how small. Over time, this can help shift your mindset.
Experiment and Reflect
Sometimes we’re stuck because we’re not sure what we want to change. Experiment with different routines, hobbies, or even micro-adventures, then reflect on how they made you feel.
Would you like help brainstorming specific changes or ideas tailored to your daily routine?

Every day of my life.
What makes my situation absolutely miserable is my wife wants to stay home with our kids for 3-5 more years (2.5 years in now), so I feel incredibly stuck. I'm fortunate to make a good living that can afford us the option for her to raise the kids, but I would love to have some stress taken off of me and take a lower stress job, maybe even something I like doing.

Not depression, more just a sense of Ground Hog day every time the alarm goes off in the morning?

Sacrifice is a huge part of a marriage. So is acceptance. Why does it bother you that she stays home??? Job stress??? You must not be very good at your current job if you feel this way.

I have had burnout for 5 years

Change up little things and get out more.

Travel is a great reset for us.
We work so we can travel. We’re constantly planning the next trip. Setting money aside. It becomes a goal to have the cash to take off and go. Then, when we finally go, we basically sleep as little as possible while we’re experiencing a new place. We have to come home and sleep for a day just to catch up. Then, start all over again.
I dig it.

I created a game for bedtime. It’s basketball but with pube balls when she falls asleep and that mouth opens.

OwlFan’s boyfriend is living with a burnout.

This thread will be filled with great advice for how to live with the burnout, but unless you wake up feeling like what you do matters AND that you’re appreciated/valued because of it, you’re going to stay burnt out. Only way to truly fix it is to change those circumstances.
I am not sure if there is better advice than this.

I read a quote on here about burnout.
“Burnout is when you work on goals you don’t believe in for people you don’t like.”
In general, most of us work for the check. Work won’t love you back. If you want a friend, get a dog.
Most of life is routine. Get a hobby. Spend time outside.

No, I'm retired and I take care of my 93 year old dad and 89 year old mom. No two weeks are the same.
