I've been catching myself zoning out after work—not just tired, but like my brain is completely tapped. I'm not talking about just being sleepy or needing a nap. I mean that kind of drained where everything feels like noise. I work a full-time job with a lot of mental load, and by the time I clock out, even small decisions feel overwhelming. I wouldn’t call it a mental health “problem” exactly, but it's more than stress.
Has anyone else experienced this? What do you do to keep your head above water when you feel mentally worn out day after day? Not looking for generic advice like “drink more water” or “get better sleep,” I mean the things that have actually helped you decompress or reset your mind in a practical way.
