Have you considered finding something a little more substantial?
I can relate to burnout, but the only thing that fixed me was getting some faith in me and my place in the world once again. Time off and being nice to myself (I mostly couldn't care less) did nothing. In fact it was worse than nothing.
No idea where your interests lie, but have you considered some months of volunteering? There's loads of options like medical service overseas, or for one of the overseas third world projects, or something environmental - to get you out amongst the world and environment again, perhaps at a charity or group restoring some historical artefact - whether machine, IT, steam engine or building there seem to be lots of places for willing, intelligent volunteers. Even some weeks at a commune or Buddhist retreat - many of those want temporary helpers too.
I'm sure you can find something that appeals to the deeper you, and doing something more concrete should give you a little faith once again. You may also get a clearer idea of where you want to go next.
