It sounds like burnout
Which seems kind of boring
But nonetheless
I got out of it a couple times by being unemployed for months
Found new jobs and realized after the first couple of days that
Even though the "don't care" still seemed to be there
I was actually fine doing whatever garbage I used to do
I do remember reading lots of advice that did not at all seem to engage with the seriousness of my condition
A lot of it was tweak this, start doing that, etc
I just thought, "yeah, fuck you, too. Assholess."
General advice would be start reading and youtubing like crazy
As soon as the person suggests you just need to 'put yourself in your happy place' or dismisses your condition in some other way, just move on to the next page/video/book/therapist.
I'm guessing burnout is still so common for a few reasons -- one being that as a society we just don't take it seriously yet, even after all this time
Reminds me I just saw mini doc on AJE or something about burnout in Sweden or something
And they are taking it hella serious, in part because of its combination with covid, I think.
