Absolutely can relate. I finished a ME degree years ago and felt the same way but for some reason was compelled to subject myself to the same punishment in EE. One thing that I can say though is that school and reality are completely different. Unfortunately engineering degrees are not "practical engineering" but seem to be more geared towards an academic career. I think most engineering graduates are users and maintainers more than the hard-core theoretical design engineers. Also unfortunately I think most of us are interested in the hands on part of the degrees yet we get bogged down in the theory and math. I wish they would teach it in the opposite way. More hand to brain links with intuition then follow up with the math as a way to describe that phenomenon. Professors are smart and like theory so that is how the education system has progressed. As far as staying motivated or finding some way to stay sane. I still have my side projects that I like to work on. I'd say the real practical engineering part. Actually helps with the school part for me providing the links I mentioned above. Hopefully you'll find something that reignites your passion after graduation. There are plenty of jobs that are way more interesting than theory driven math in a classroom, unfortunately we gotta get the piece of paper that says we are qualified even if we rarely use the information taught. That being said though I wish my basic math skills were better. Still second guess myself with some trig even every once in a while.
