Increasingly unable to work

[Anonymous No.52690802]

Honest question: this last year, my ability to work has fallen drastically, like 80%. I used to be a go-getter, did long weeks, was always motivated. Right now, i just cant motivate myself to do anything but absolute bare minimum. Whitecollar, i can get away with it, but i am not used to this feeling and desu i dont like it. Is it only me? This is new for me.

Exact same thing is affecting me. My last job, I dominated everyone on my team, carried everyone and became team leader. I changed jobs in September 2021, since then I've deteriorated to the point where I can barely work 2 hours a day.

There's two possible ways I could go from here. Maybe the extra free time is allowing me to realise how hollow my life is and the pain of it will spur to find something more fulfilling; or maybe idleness is the main evil and I need to find a way to get busy for the sake of getting busy and keeping idleness at bay.

Or it could be the unprocessed trauma of witnessing seemingly 90% of the population falling in with the MSM on the covid narrative and going gung ho on vaccine mandates, in the complete absence of hard evidence. It pretty much means the MSM could make the bulk of people do anything that the string pullers could ever want. Kind of a scary thought, especially since I was one of the people who opted out of the whole thing and effectively became pariahs.

fair enough. i assume you WFH all the time or something? i'd love just 1 or 2 days WFH, hybrid seems like the way to go imho. the fucked up thing is that i do fuck-all in the office most of the time when there isn't testing to do so idk why they're even so mad about me doing any sort of WFH shit even a little bit. like, it's not like im doing anything in the office besides being there physically in many cases. it's just weird and draconian. "be in the office all the time because we said so! there's plenty of reason for you to WFH but go to the office anyways because we told you to!"

Maybe we're exhausted because we've become hyper aware that the government might be trying to kill us... maybe they just wanted to throw their weight around a bit... we could put it down to that and try to forget about it.

same fren. I make 250k wfh in the midwest as a software engineer but it is so painfully boring i just cant do it anymore. I have ADHD and medication worked very well for 12+ years, but that has changed recently. Prior to covid I was easily a 10x coder and had a reputation as being a genius everywhere I worked. I can still code just as well but I have absolutely 0 motivation to do it. It's to the point where I am considering changing professions....
Math has always been a hobby of mine and I never struggle to find motivation when studying. However going back to school to earn a math PhD at 30, while working fulltime and with a family to support seems impossible. Has anyone ever done this? I truly think I'd be happier as an academia fag writing papers and jerking off all day, but maybe that's just a symptom of ADHD. I dont care about money anymore i just want to make a positive impact on the world and I feel like I have the ability to do that in math.

You have a great point. The game as a whole has changed which people are aware of but not exactly in the way they think.

They still think status=money but now its more

Are you physically fit?
Do you have a group of people you spend time with frequently that you are real close too?
Are you well read, personable, and interesting and have lots of useful skills?

Women don't care if you click buttons on screen and make a lot of $$$. It doesn't get them hot and they know they can just eventually find some simp who provides that

When they talk about you to their friends they can only say his well off so many times. They want something their friends have ZERO access too that is unique.

I definitely understand that feeling. In my previous team I basically was given little to no work to do, so I spent like 90% of my time just playing vidya or reading novels and lost motivation to actually work.

I think what helps to get over the hump is definitely some physical suffering. Go run until exhaustion, try to refresh your mind. Then I realize nothing would really change even if I had a different job, didn't work, have a relationship and/or children. Life will just provide more stuff for you to suffer through.

tl;dr try to refresh your mind with physical exhaustion and stop thinking too deeply.

I had this problem for a long time, especially when the lockdowns came in. I was always a hard worker but something just broke and I stopped caring altogether. Since then I've tussled with trying to do more. Recently I made the decision that I was only going to do what was asked of me. No more trying to code perfect solutions which handle edge cases that won't matter. No more looking for additional work or finding things to do. I get a task and think, what is the simplest solution that will work properly?

All my additional energy is going into my projects, which are much more stimulating for me. I realised that if I want interesting work I'm going to have to create it myself. I treat my job like I treat doing the dishes. Occasionally it's satisfying, but mostly it's just something I need to do.

The surprising thing is that my performance at work is improving, and my boss is happy. Probably because I'm not procrastinating as much because I'm not fretting over producing some perfect code. And in the past I've been warned about my lack of output (I work from home).

Tl;Dr perhaps just try letting go a bit. Do your job, do it well, and put your energy into things that are more satisfying to you.
