Sounds like a rut to me. From Lexico:
rut: A habit or pattern of behavior that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change.
Example:
I've been in a rut (or stuck in a rut or caught in a rut) for the last ten years, but I can't figure out how to get out of it. My situation's driving me insane.
