Usually, when I reach a stage like this it means I need to take a break long enough to feel healthy enough to work or meet with a psych to deal with a relapse of depression. One thing I definitely did wrong was not taking a 4-6month break after college to really decide what I wanted to do and de-stress. After leaving a FAANG about two years after graduation I did this out of desperation and cannot describe the positive effect on my work ethic and mental state after basically not doing anything productive for 5-6months. This might be a common trait with those who have ADHD but I usually find that the only way to de-stress is to simply remove all forms of taxing sensory input or work for at least 3-4 weeks.
