I'm in the same boat. After 14 years of software development, I am done. I've switched companies 4 times in the last year alone looking for something that will keep my interest alive. It's my first week at the newest one and I'm already uninterested. I even started helping out an acquaintance with a side business project that is really cool, but after a couple of weeks of that I'm no longer interested in it either.
It's not depression leading to this; it's the reverse. This problem is leading to depression! I get enjoyment from other things in my life (e.g. being outdoors, doing yard-work, building things). Just not programming/tech. It's been like this for several years now. I can go on vacation and soon as I get back, same issue... zero desire to work with technology.
With 4 mouths to feed and one kid approaching college age, switching to another field while retaining the same salary/benefits seems impossible.
