Burnout often occurs because who you imagine/want yourself to be is not the same person as how you actually identify yourself to be.
It can be the feeling of "I know I can do better than this, but I'm not doing better than this right now, so I'm frustrated with myself."
There is no quick easy fix. My only suggestion to you would be to: firstly, accept that this is crap situation to be in, secondly: that it is escapable, and thirdly: realize that to escape you have to return to your roots, and rebuild from there.
When you first discovered programming, it was fun and what you created only mattered you. You started here, so go back here. Do an ancient Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/ https://adventofcode.com/), or the first few Euler Problems (https://projecteuler.net/ https://projecteuler.net/). Do not share your solutions with anyone. The most important thing is that what you do is not important to anyone except yourself. This is your baseline.
