I can tell you that, in our capitalist hellscape, being unemployed for a year a half fucking sucks. I’ve been able to keep myself busy by helping friends because I was free and playing a lot of music and stuff, and my evenings didn’t need to change much despite seeing people frequently enough, but yea you don’t want this. Hell, I’ve only been kept alive because of my parents and I have to be very careful about expenses because of it and even feel guilty when buying necessities.
Find a good work-life balance. Leave work on time and make sure you leave it where it’s at and don’t bring it home unless you’re actively fighting for better protections, pay, and saner work hours(being grumpy and ranting doesn’t count!). A lot of people let jobs grind them down and we gotta shift ourselves away from that because it’s killing us but also routines and purpose are kinda nice.
