I'd say 5.

I have a good paying job and a good family life, hard to complain about that.
However work is consuming an ever increasing amount of my life to the point where it's 24/7, there is no getting away from it. I feel trapped in it, I'm too old to start over and too young to retire. And it's not a job I particularly enjoy anymore, not that it was ever a passion. Covid (the effect on society) has removed my desire to get out and do anything. I'm an introvert and the shutdowns took me out of society almost entirely and I'm finding it extremely difficult to get back into it, nor do I have a desire to. But that means I just stay home now doing mostly nothing and that is not good either. No hobbies, no interests, and I don't even know what I like or would like to do as a hobby or distraction to life.
