I find that I have absolutely no energy to do anything besides get high after work. I go to the gym, do like 1 pullup and I am fucking destroyed, and I’m not the most out of shape person in existence despite my job being a desk job (for the most part). I don’t go out, I have no friends partially because I moved to a new place 6 months ago.

Please no ‘you don’t’ or ‘welcome to life under kkkapitalism’, only false promises.

You might be autistic besides having ADHD (these conditions are highly comorbid). In that case you might be experiencing burnout from masking and neglecting your special interests (autistic people need to have fun with our interests more than neurotypicals do from my experience, they get the same satisfaction from socializing instead).

Or maybe you have an anxiety disorder and you are pretty much anxious all day which also consumes a ton of energy.

You might have a lifestyle problem but tbh I am suspecting neurodivergence or a mental illness here due to having the same fatigue after work and also knowing ND people who experience this as well.
