What do you do after work?

Work is tough and tiring, theres no shame in being tired after it. I work as a bar manager so work evenings and as soon as I get in my head hits the pillow and I ma out like a light. So your already doing better than me! dont beat yourself up about your body acting the way it should!

Dude, you're definitely not alone. I'm in the exact same situation and all my friends living too far away now. By the time I finish working and figure out food, my energy is in the negatives. I usually just put on sweatpants and zone out playing a game or watching YouTube for the rest of the night. You aren't boring, your brain is just exhausted.

first off, don’t feel bad about sharing how you feel, a lot of people get it. after long work days, i usually try to go for a walk or binge something, just to recharge a bit. maybe look into online hangouts or hobbies that fit your interests, could help break the monotony.

I work early shifts, so I get home early, like 12:45. I usually freshen up, maybe do one chore each day, and then head out for a walk. I come back, watch some tv, make dinner, avoid the news, and am in bed around 7pm to do it all over again. Thursdays are currently MY Fridays, so usually hit the local c***** for my weekly free offers and d******* meals

I'm also autistic. Work drains me really bad, and I have trouble functioning after all the overstimulation from my day. For the last three days after getting home from work, I've been doing some short tasks like showering, getting dressed, checking the mail, and washing dishes. And then, I know this is unconventional, but I've been going right to bed. For me this means waking up at 3-3:30 am for my next day. This has been much better for me because after a night of sleep, I can function, whereas when I stay up after work, I can't function. I enjoy the dark mornings and spending more of my awake time not feeling like a zombie.

I think a lot of people feel like this; it just doesn't get talked about much. After work, I'm usually pretty drained too. So most days it's just something simple like eating, watching something, or just scrolling and trying to switch off. I've noticed it helps a bit when I don't pressure myself to have an interesting life evening . Sometimes, just having a cool routine is enough.

I love to have a cup of tea , a bath and a great great nap that's all

I'm 40, audhd, with some suicidal thoughts and anger issues, and working two jobs (one, sometimes two days off per week, on working days sometimes working 8 hours, sometimes literally whole day, up to 14 hours with breaks), and I learned not to pay attention to people. What matters is what makes me feel good, not whether it can be called 'interesting'. I have a tiny blog nobody reads on which I review fanfiction. It's the furthest from success as it can be, I get zero comments, barely any views, but I don't care. Sometimes, when I have a mood for that, I write my own fanfiction too, which is doing acceptably, but again, if I compared its success with popular fics I'd be depressed. Apart from that? Reading books and comicbooks, watching movies, series, and let's plays, playing games, going for walks with my LLMs, if I have money, going to restaurants (on my own, no need for company to enjoy that), if I really have plenty of time, going to museums or on trips (again on my own).

Cook->Eat->Chill->Gym->Video games->bed

Sleep

Gym or bike ride and then go home and chill, eat something. Then do it again the next day

After work I usually just default to something low effort like a show or a bit of gaming because my brain is fried. I’ve stopped feeling guilty about it and it actually helps a lot

I actually do my hobbies in the morning! My work is flexible so once I'm done with my hobbies the rest of my day is just work lol

Stop adulting and relax:)

Go to my 2nd job.

I'm 25F and in a similar position. Considering commute, I'm usually home by 5:00pm - 6:00pm (I start at 6:30am - 7:00am depending on the schedule). I do karate two nights a week but other than that, I eat, write (well, hold my pen and stare at a blank page is more realistic), doomscroll and go to sleep. I WFH one day a week and see a psychologist on that day as well.
