The fact all you talked about was the work and not yourself, you are living to work. You're taking work home with you. You probably think about work while showering and brushing your teeth.
Stop.
What are your work hours? 9am to 5pm? You stop thinking about work at 5:01pm. You need to do things you enjoy, outside of work that are not work related. Ideally, not computer related. You are supposed to work so you can live a more fulfilled life doing other things. Not live so you can grind away for someone else to profit off of you. Dont get it twisted. You work for money. You're not going to make a world a better place with what you're doing. That's not a hit on you. It's just you need to not believe in some illusion about programming making the world a better place. Go join Doctors Without Borders, as an example, if you want to do that.
Burnout sucks and I lost 2 years of my life due to it. Dont let this get any worse.
