Dear god. I burned out around your age with a similar work schedule. Less commute but more work hours. Took me years to recover.

If your situation allows, please find yourself a better work and commute setup. Your boss isn't going to care that you're dying inside, especially when they've grown accustomed to everything you get done running yourself ragged. If you can, start doing less at work so you have energy to search for other jobs.

In some workplaces, it's actually better to let things slip so your boss can push for more manpower.

My situation is lucky not the worst. I am currently going to a technical school for medical work. And when I actually am at the place I work in it's hardly "working" much at all, a good number of days I literally can watch an movie between cases.

Honestly most of the feeling dead is the commute, which unfortunately I don't have many options for, can't drive plus no other job I find offers nearly as much as I make (coupled with the fact that this quite literally the only job of its kind in the area).

I also get along very well with my team (literally no drama) and management is pretty nonexistent and we all take a firm stand when they do.

I very much appreciate the concern however
