Is This Really the “American Dream” or Just Exhaustion? 😩

Every morning, I wake up before the sun, chug coffee, and brace myself for the hour-long crawl through traffic to the office. By the time I get home, it’s nearly 7pm—just enough time to eat, shower, and collapse into bed. Is this what life is supposed to be? I can’t help but feel like I’m living to work, not working to live. The constant grind is wearing me down, and weekends barely feel like a break. Where’s the balance everyone talks about? I’m desperate for advice—how do you keep your sanity when your job eats up almost every waking hour? I’m open to any tips or mindset shifts that might help. How do you find joy when it feels like there’s no time left for yourself? Please tell me I’m not alone in this struggle. 😔 #WorkLifeBalance #CareerStruggles #CommuteProblems #JobCareer
