I have done TONS of volunteering over the years so I know what I am talking about when I say it drains me. I have taken so many neighbourhood kids to the park and on outings (I donā€™t have kids this was 100% out of the goodness of my heart). I genuinely believe that if one is running on empty, volunteering does NOT always help

Iā€™m talking about helping people who have no resources, not bratty kids with parents who wonā€™t play with them.
Big difference.

I am 45. I canā€™t really say I have slowed down a lot because in my 20s compared to my peers I had less energy. They could stay out until midnight and be on time to work the next day, I couldnā€™t

Do you have children? I donā€™t so that is one thing that is not taking up my time

Hmm well maybe you are a low energy person overall? Have you been given a clean bill of health by your doctor? Maybe you are depressed? šŸ¤·
In my 20ā€™s I was the party girl that stayed up all night lol, you couldnā€™t pay me enough now to do that though. Go out with friends for drinks yes but not in a club full of smoke and people spilling drinks on you nope!

I am single and have no children but my days are fairly busy overall. I go to work then the gym for an hour of exercise but end up staying chatting with peeps. By the time I get home I barely have time to eat something, shower and prepare for the next day. I donā€™t even watch tv, I usually chat a bit on social media, check out videos, listen to music, maybe watch a kdrama online and then itā€™s time for bed. Repeat the next day except Wednesdays which is when I go to my church group.

Weekends I visit my family and/or go out with friends to eat/movies/beach. So yeah my life is not that exciting but maybe cuz I did party a lot when I was younger I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m missing out on much.

I feel like you need a hobby, maybe learn an instrument, a new language, become part of a crazy fandom? lol Just throwing out some ideas. I do sincerely hope you find something because the world is full of stuff to discover

Well, first off, one of the kids was bratty but that is because her parents could not give her the love she needed and I think she loved having an adult treat her with respect.

And I also did other volunteer work with seniors and not for profit organizations.

it could also be a general sense of malaise due to the fact that youā€™re kind of between jobs, and seeking a better job.
Once they hire you and you have health benefits get a complete workup. It could be something as simple as needing more iron in your diet, or it could be hormonal.
This isnā€™t the ā€œangieā€ we know and love. šŸ˜ƒ
