It’s COVID time and nothing is normal. Put things in perspective and hopefully it will help you feel less overwhelmed. The flexible hours just means there is just never ending work. Relaxing, going out, playing my favorite songs are some of the things that help me. Take care of yourself OP. That’s the most important thing and is above everything else
Respectfully LIFE is all about vibration. What you put out comes back at you. So, change your FOCUS on the positives in life (there are so many), and also focus on the things that will make you happy. And in no time, your feelings of being overwhelmed by the hardships of life will minimize. You're going to be alright!

If social activities feel like a burden instead of helping you to relax and refresh, reduce those activities. We used to meet our friends almost every week but we realized it’s putting a lot of pressure on our schedule. Now we only meet our friends once in three weeks or so. My SO and I used to do grocery shopping and other errands together. Now we divide and conquer few of these mundane activities. We also decided to spend a bit more money and hire landscaper to do gardening, cleaning lady once a month. Some of these changes helped us significantly.
Also the social activities def take a toll. I used to go on multiple outings 3-4 times a week before covid. These days I only do 1 a week or 2 at most. It’s weird I can’t explain it but the social activities only reenergize me if I’m off next the day or have a slow week.
I got nothing; I realized my job was the only thing keeping me sane and that when I switched to a new one, the $$ didn't make up for how much I hate these new people

It’s partly adult life, and partly covid
Find a purpose and life will naturally becomes more fulfilling
I’ve felt the same. For me it was the small things that made a big impact:
1) Sunday for me are now reserved for no adulting or social activities, just well being stuff like meditating, reading, being outside, working out etc.
2) make some of your chores easier.. Get a robo-vacuum... The BEST thing he pandemic brought me was Instacart. It’s worth the cost to not have another outing (this coming from someone who used to love grocery shopping). If you don’t love cooking, subscribe to a healthy ready made meal subscription for 1-2 meals a week.
3) no working on weekends. I’ll suffer through 12-15 hour work days but need the two days away. It sounds sucky but I make sure before logging off on Friday I clear my inbox and map out my following week to try and make it less chaotic and make sure I don’t have to work the weekend.
Sounds like a therapist would probably help more, tbh
