Damn! This hit home. Not 32, yet. But I can totally see what the OP is saying. > It feels relentless, and the lack of in-person social contact with colleagues makes it worse Yup, every meeting seems like people just going on and on, every conversation seems grim and people are always doing something on their laptop while you're talking. The things which have helped me: 1. Morning walks, I was slowly falling into the cycle of waking up and opening up my laptop 10 to 15 mins later. Now I make it a point to just go for a walk for 30 mins, sometimes I'll get a coffee, I'll listen to music, talk to friends/relatives in a different time zone, etc. 2. Evening workouts. Especially outside for me. Join a gym, cross fit class, something. If you're not comfortable going to public places, I've had some friends who've had some success with the peleton bike, so it might be worth looking into. 3. Not having alcohol readily accessible. Having cold beers in the fridge, makes me wanna have a beer or 2 every evening. I just cut out keeping beers in the fridge and only put them in if friends are coming. 4. Meeting friends/acquaintances/colleagues. Make plans once a week, meet other people who you trust outside of work setting. Try to avoid discussing work and talk about anything else. In my experience the conversation doesn't need to be deep, but I feel much better after meeting and speaking to someone.
