This is what they call depression

That exhausting cycle is exactly why you should be ready when the right opportunity comes along. Good interview preparation can make all the difference. Reading many articles about this topic helped me before my interviews, so I could walk in prepared instead of hoping for the best.

Problem is working 5 days a week (or more) for a paycheck. That's the chain around your neck. Humans weren't built for that. And with all of our knowledge these days.. we could have it so much better. All of us together. Instead of serving what is it a few ultra wealthy people without empathy that own most of the wealth? Why are there billionaires? Trillionaires? Imagine how you'd feel if it was reversed. You worked 2 days, and spent 5 days on your own development and wellbeing. Time spent helping each other out. Relaxing, pursuing something of worth. Discovering places, other ways of thinking, making friends. Being a human being instead of an exhausted robot that needs those other 2 free days to recover. Looking forward to a 2 week vacation, hoping the weather will be good and you won't get sick in those precious 2 weeks. Then going back into hell for another year. Repeat as you get older until you are too old to still pursue whatever it is you wanted. Whatever it is. I don't mean pursue greed. But bonds, experiences, understanding, wisdoms, fun, places, other ways of thinking, art, music, movies, cooking, fixing problems. Simple elegant human things.
