How am I supposed to have time for hobbies if work kills me?

Hi guys,

Firstly apologies for not replying sooner and more informative of my situation. My initial post was way OTT, I do agree, most of it was heat of the moment.

My commute is about 25-30 minute walk at a steady pace, but after being on my feet all day and literally sweating in a hot alluminium factory my legs are so sore come home time I literally don't want to do a thing. Granted, it's been my 4th day but even if I do get used to it, no doubt there's some long term effect for my legs and feet!

Anywho, just continuing on from that point, I was off sick through depression/anxiety and was ready to go back this week (to a different job as I believe my previous job was doing me no good) and I've just been thrown right into the deep end I guess. But yeah, I'm just so knackered, I can't even bring myself to walk over to the doctors and get my prescription. As soon as I get home I collapse. I started running a couple weeks ago to get my fitness levels up and help with my depression and now I haven't been once this week. 1 step forward, 2 steps back

And to add insult to injury one of my colleagues had a go at me today saying I'm not fast enough and it's not good enough. That did me the world of good :mad:

Anywho, I did exaggerate a lot, mainly to make me realize what I actually do, compared to other people, is nothing.

Oh, and finally, yes my name is a reference to a popular British rock band.

I think the tiredness, is partly due to being in a new environment and having to take on board lots of new information. I went from working multiple 13 hour a day shifts on my feet all day in A&E,and being fine when I got home; to a much less physically demanding job. I had to to have power naps most days after I started the new role because I was exhausted all the time for some reason. Give it a couple of weeks, hopefully you'll notice your energy coming back. All the best!
