As someone who's been there and understands your thoughts and feelings, I'm going to make this very short and simple.
If you've lost interest in everyrhing and you have felt this way for longer than a few weeks you are not just burned out, you are depressed.
UNLESS you are prescribed Selegelline, I highly recommend you avoid taking the medical route. (Selegelline is worth taking even if you are not depressed for its neuro protective qualities and possible neurogenesis).
If you feel up to it, do cardio (running, biking, playing basketball, etc.) 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week or 60 minutes a day 3 days a week. It must be aerobic exercise, not just lifting weights.
It can be tough to generate the motivation. My solution to this was to buy a pack of energy drinks specifically made to be taken before a workout(Redline, not red bull, monster, etc.) . If I didnt feel like working out, I would ingest the energy drink. At that point, Id have no choice but to exercise because being sedentary in that state is extremely uncomfortable.
Going to a doctor and trying to find not only the right medication, but the right dosage is hell and can take a year or more. Not only that, medication often causes many undesirable side effects such as anxiety, weight gain and sexual dysfunction, which may lower your well being even more.
If you have a good friend, task him/her with motivating you to stick to your exercise regiment. Not only is it free, it works better than medication, it will proba ly extend your lifespan, and it will moat likely make you more physically fit/attractive.
