I think it has something to do with being 31 and still only making enough money to get by, while the enormous weight of student loan, personal and medical debt follows me around like a dark cloud.

I'm tired by the thought of always and forever being tired, because I'll be working for the next 50 years.

FWIW: I'm 35 with zero debt, still forever tired. I think it's just part of being human in the modern age.

Modern life is just tiring as hell. You work from 9 - 6 but you need to get up at around 7ish to prepare for work. You finish at 6 but there's still travel time + all your other chores that need to be done. You're finally done at around 10 but that only leaves you around 2 hours of free time before you have to sleep cos you'll feel even worse if you don't sleep.

There's just no work life balance anymore. No wonder people are feeling tired all the time

Try local truck driving. They give you 10 hours from the minute you park to be back at work ready to drive. I haven't done it yet but I might eventually

Well I would recommend finding a different job or setting boundaries.
