Ask HN: What do you do to recharge after a day of work?

I typically play video games for a couple of hours, hang out with my partner, and then read in bed.

But the thing that helps me the most is looking critically at my job and figuring out whether that's the best thing for me. I'm an introvert, and I find training groups of people really draining. Being engaging with 30-50 people is really taxing on me. So I do it less now, and thus find myself having to do less recharging on a daily basis.

I'm just too mentally tired to even do that

I'm not a therapist, but I've been through a lot of therapy. If even critically looking at your job functions is mentally taxing, it sounds like you're facing burn out.

If I were in your case, I'd take a vacation and get into therapy ASAP. To me, being too taxed to evaluate your current situation is a cause for concern.
