I have graduated college and I'm currently living with my parents. I wish I didn't have to, but it's my only option right now. I've always felt on-edge at home because my dad is somewhat emotionally abusive/narcissistic. He admittedly treats me better than he used to, probably because I'm an adult. But I still have resentment toward him. Anyway, I've noticed that my energy level at home compared to living at college is much different. I'm so much less motivated, I end up sitting around doing nothing when I had things I needed to do, and I endlessly watch TV. I do have a full-time job and am pretty motivated for that. But there's something about home that sucks the soul out of me. I don't know if it's also because I'm really lonely in general or that I'm still adjusting to full-time work, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced a noticeable lack of energy in relation to a certain place. How can I stop myself from feeling so drained when there's no way I can move out just yet?
