How to deal with post-work exhaustion? (sh.itjust.works)

I feel so tired after half a day of work, never mind working a full day. After a couple of weeks of this, when i get home, i have no energy left for anything. Even things I usually enjoy.

Everything feels like a drag at that point and I can’t seem to do anything to improve this.

Doing this for a few more months usually ends up with me having to quit my job or i will get so tired and sick I can’t do anything anymore.

How to deal with this?

When i worked at the office in my last job, I find it almost impossible to take a decent break.

What is wrong with your labor laws? In my country there's a mandatory 1 hour break(30 minutes of which is paid) in a full day of work.

Here it’s quite typical to have a 30 min break for lunch.

But that’s just spent on getting food, eating and returning to the office.

It just doesn’t feel enough for me on a given day.

And I’m really bad at figuring out how to take short breaks like my colleagues do. Having a 10 min talk with coworkers doesn’t really feel like a break. And I often don’t know how long and what kind of things are acceptable, so I tend to avoid taking any breaks.

Sounds stupid, but there is just some kind of underlying fear that I can’t get out of my head. And having less time to work on my actual responsibilities make that more stressful as well.
