I think my friends have stopped including me because I’m burned out from my job 😭

Hi I just really need some commisersteuon so I don’t feel like I’m literally gonna be alone for the rest of my life. At the beginning of March, I started my first full time, 8-5 law office job. In a lot of ways I like it, but I never get enough time to fully recover so I’m starting every week already in a mental load/energy deficit and it gets worse every week as I never get the chance to get back to baseline. These friends and I used to text every day, FaceTime frequently, they wanted to share things with me and hang out with me. Now one of them is in town (she moved away after high school) and they never even texted me to let me know that she was here. One of the the other friends literally turned off her location on both find my friends and Snapchat, and I can’t help but feel like it’s so I don’t realize they’re hanging out together without me. I’m just so worn out ALL THE TIME and don’t have the energy I did before I started this new job, but I feel like they don’t ever appreciate my efforts they just stopped trying almost immediately. I would still text in the group chat, try to set up FaceTimes, and they just… wouldn’t even respond. I’m kinda devastated and I feel like I no longer have literally any friends in this city, and I feel like my friendships with people out of this city have fallen by the wayside too because I haven’t had the energy to keep in touch over text or FaceTime with them either. I feel so empty and lonely and anxious and sad and I wish people would give me the kind of grace I give them 😞 please reassure my I’m not alone or a bad person or unloveable 😭😭😭😭😭
