You're exhausted and showing signs of burning out.
I'd recommend taking some vacation time to do nothing. If you can't do that, then you need to find another job that is less stressful to you.
Maybe even consider taking a job that you would ordinarily consider "boring", so that you have the energy to work on your ideas.
With your current situation, all you can really do is stress yourself out even more.
- CyberFonic 17y agoYup! Burn-out Zone ! Take some time out, chill, assess what you want out of life. Some questions to consider : "Demanding full time job": who is doing the demanding, your boss? you? co-workers? How can you deflect or reduce the demands? "A company whose values don't match mine": why are you stil working there? Life's too short to be stuck in self-invalidation. Like you, I couldn't get enough energy together after work to productively work on my side project. So I downsized and quit. The side project has turned into full-time PhD research and a consulting business. Haven't regretted taking the leap. For me, happiness is doing what I'm passionate and interested in. The big mortgage was just a trap to keep me working for The Man.
