    See this is why I feel burned out, I have no time for anything, my hobbies are collecting dust.

    I understand, there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done. Can anything get put on the chopping block? maybe just for a little while?

    For me I exercise read or in the warmer weather go sailing, hiking or camping. I'm currently taking up woodworking as a hobby since it's something I've enjoyed in the past part of the fun is setting up my own wood shop in my basement.

    The thing is I have hobbies and I have an area of the house it's just impossible to even do things those
    I have hobbies and even a man cave, it's just impossible to do any of those things when my day is filled with extra shit to do from the minute I wake up till I go to bed.

    You got to make time for you man. I was that way a year ago everything stacked up and feeling overwhelmed. The best thing I could do was realize that things I didn't get to today would still be there tomorrow.

    I can't, my wife had surgery isn't walking yet so I have to literally help her get dressed, take her to work, go get her etc etc, make her lunch, make dinner, clean the house, turk, anything with the kids is on me, it's this never ending cycle of something to do all the time.

    She asked me why my earnings are down the other day and I was like I dunno maybe the 4 hours I lose at this everyday now?

    Sounds to me like you may need a VERY nice vacation somewhere that is both restful and has some neat, captivating stuff to do.

    Honestly man sounds like you need to talk with a professional. They will help you put things into prospective, a outside perspective is often helpful.

    I don't have money for that lol, I'm just frustrated, I was trying to explain to everyone how I feel and I was like how would you feel if you had something to do every minute of everyday and none of it was fun at all and there was nothing you could do to escape it?

    Well, this pretty much dumps on my previous suggestion. I think you need human help (at least for a while). Check with the "social service" (just one choice) organizations in your city/town and your county. Make as many phone calls as it takes for you to understand how those systems work in your local and find some help. (As a matter of fact, check with the hospital or doctor that performed the surgery, and ask them for advice and where you might be able to find help.)

    I put one of my favorite show on, so that it is playing in the background. Always make sure its on the comedy side that I know will make me laugh. For me its SG1, Firefly, or Critical roll campaign 1.

    I dunno I've tried talking with the people I live with and nothing changes, I just feel like I'm everyone's Grinch while they get to watch tv and stare at their phones and do whatever they want while I'm in this constant work work work mode.

    Good Morning Everyone. @Mecca you need to set at least 20 minutes to the side for you everyday. You have to be rigid about it, like you quit smoking or a new diet. Let everyone know you need that time. Take that great work ethic you have and apply it to making sure you have 20 minutes a day for you. Just a simple walk can do wonders. Mine is a good dog walk everyday. Hope this helps, it has for me.
