Darwin was actually super ill and really miserable and badly off for most of the later phases of his life. Often bed ridden. He lamented that he had lost all joy in literature and wasn’t able to socialise. His wife would spend hours reading him what we’d now call trashy fiction as a distraction. He also lost a child young and he was hugely devastated.

He wrote his own autobiography so his kids would know him (he knew he’d die whilst they were quite young). It’s worth a read - really quite moving.

But really, Darwin got through a whole fucking lot and he still changed the world. Boy’s a legend (and so is his wife).
