Ya I've been taking a break from programming for a few months, doing recreational programming (like learning Unity) and remodeling our home. I also think that painting is uniquely therapeutic. For anyone reading this, don't discount the physical. I realized lately that part of my burnout was chemical, so I've been taking: * essential fatty acids (Nature's EFA) * B 100 complex * magnesium citrate before bed (Natural Calm) * zinc * iron (limit this to occasional small doses or it's dangerous) I've also found that leafy green vegetables help, as well as walking a few times a week for 15-20 minutes. I wasn't sure why I was so tired, so I searched the bodybuilding.com forums for advice since I lift. If you aren't sure what's ailing you, I would recommend taking all of the supplements you think might help for 1-2 weeks and then go back to your normal multivitamin or whatever and note any changes. My gut feeling is that my omega 3s were way too low, and probably my electrolytes, and certainly I wasn't drinking enough water or sleeping properly. I got diagnosed with sleep apnea early in my burnout and wear Breathe Right strips but should have probably tried a CPAP machine.
