Okay, they are alive but do they have a “humane life”? Aside from work, consider the time spent on eating, during getting to and returning from job, sleep and guess what? No time left for YOU! And you don’t (probably) earn great money that you can use in saving money to have a much more relaxed job (and life) later either. So what’s the deal with these people?
By the way, if you love your job, that’s good for you, and answer considering millions of people who work under these conditions. Also consider professions which involve menial work not something like being a writer or an academic. Thanks!

If you can’t do that, you need to start going to therapy (there are many roads to affordable therapy) and figure out what it is about your brain that is stopping you from being able to change.
I did that for 2 years and still managed to have a life, but it wore me out so bad I had a nervous breakdown.
I feel this way and I only work 40 hours a week. I feel like we have no time to do anything because I’m wore out. I leave for work at 7:30 and don’t get home till 5:30. I then go to sleep at 9:30-10:30. That’s only about FIVE HOURS! Then 7 hours sleeping, and then 8 hours working. It sucks 🙁
I used to work 60-70 hours a week. I needed to to raise my kids well. I loved my work and made time to enjoy my friends and family. I had a very full life. It’s not the quantity, but the quality of the time you spend leisurely.
Believe it or else, there ARE people who have to work at least 60 hours per week—just to survive. They are not working to live. Nor are they living to work. It’s all about survival. I met an elderly lady—in her 80’s, working at the cash register at McDonald’s. I just don’t think she was doing this for a hobby. I have a sister who figures she can afford to retire when she is about 75. Not everybody CAN find a good job.
Many people do that out of necessity.
Yup
