A question on energy

Exercise. At least for me, skipping the gym for more than a few days leads down this low energy spiral.

Exercise. Every day, at least 30 minutes.

You might have low t. Get it checked.

Naturally, lifting increases your testosterone, which will help if that's the case. I notice when I workout, I feel better pretty much all the time. When I do a week or two without, I definitely notice a decrease in daily energy and vigor.

Get lots of sleep, at least 8 hours a night, for a few weeks. It can take a while to catch up. Take mid day naps when you can. Once you start waking up without an alarm, you're good. Quality of sleep matters too - dark, cool room; if you have sleep apnea get that fixed.
Get your diet in order; track your macros, make sure you have enough carbs, fat, etc. This can make a HUGE difference.
Some supplements can help, especially if your diet sucks and/or you're deficient. Taking 30mg of L-OptiZinc every morning made a night and day difference for me personally. 400mg of magnesium at night helped too. If you want a lot of drive/libido, try a tablespoon of gelatinized black maca powder in the morning, and/or 600mg of KSM-66.
Lift!

You mention a blood disorder below. I think all other speculation stops until you have that figured out and effectively managed.
