Struggling to Balance Work and Hobbies

I feel like I don't have enough time and energy to enjoy my hobbies anymore. I am trying to get a job and don't want to disappoint my grandad because he said that I should work the full day every day. I keep telling him that I have chronic fatigue and a back injury, as well as a lot of other issues. It feels like I am giving 300% of my energy to my job and everything else except for my writing and research on things that I enjoy. Anyone else feel like this?

honestly yes same.. on the plus side ive been doing great at my job and even got promoted, but im doing Nothing (emphasis on capital “N”) at home in my personal life besides being in a relationship

I understand that emphasis. Congratulations on the promotion and the relationship. I don't even get paid for my work yet. I am living with my grandad and he is thinking that I am able to do everything because I look young. I am 21 and have chronic issues. Some of them make me pass out at random times.
