Ya exactly. The idea that fun should come at the expense of giving yourself a safety net is hogwash. I spent the first 25 years of my life living in poverty. The difference between people who stay in poverty and the people who leave is knowing that a stable foundation is more important than anything else in life
Unironcally. I think is what to do but backwards. You should try out the paths that lead toward the best paid jobs until you find the one you like the most.

In the moment, you need to get out of bed. Doesn’t matter with you do. You’ll feel tired again after a while and then you can go back to bed. You don’t want your brain associating your bed with being awake
More systemically though. You might not be getting enough exercise. Especially if you work at a desk, or are a student. I like going on long walks, but just find something that works for you. The key here is to experiment
