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?

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.
