    I have no energy to do the things I want to do and my parents would pull the “I worked full time and got a masters”. Like yeah, of course I appreciate their sacrifice but damn.

    Every weekend I stay up trying to recoup some time to do the things I want but I end up just feeling more tired.

    Mostly unrelated but also I feel like I’m living half a step detached from society. I am grateful for my SO who mostly get me at least.

      Sounds like burnout.
      Don’t have any advice cause Im not doing so great myself, but maybe set some small goals for yourself that look more achieaveable and enjoyable. Set a few hours to rest and do whatever without needing to feel productive, set some days to go out and do something different, some museum you never visited, or if there is some kind of event in your city like live music or whatever. Some times it will not be your thing, other times you may discover something new you like, at any case it gives you things to talk about and discuss with your SO and peers.

        I always thought it’s run of the mill depression and never considered burn out. Maybe there’s something more specific I can do about it.

        Hope things work out with you as well.
