After lots of conscious effort, I’m back in a good physical and mental state trying to not let work take me down this year.
What tips would you give to someone to avoid getting drained by work and politics/human emotions?
I used holiday and vacation to do my own "pinball" projects (interesting side projects). I also tried to create mini pinball projects in work, such as small scripts to automate things or larger, slightly over complicated scripts to achieve larger targets.
I've been learning a lot of guitar (for the first time in years) during the work day with this method. I may even have a little band soon.
Try to inject something new into what you're doing. It might be mundane and repetitive but try to figure out something new which you can inject as a learning experience.
I've just started to do a worse job and using the time and energy savings on things that are fun. I've been learning a lot of guitar (for the first time in years) during the work day with this method. I may even have a little band soon.

Write it in Lisp and don't tell the boss! I wonder if anyone has ever gotten this to work. I sure hope so.
In the same boat plus coding in work is not exactly exciting, which is fine. I used holiday and vacation to do my own "pinball" projects (interesting side projects).
