I was in the same boat. I used to love the technical aspects of programming, but eventually it just turned into a grind.
My solution was to move into management. This is not the right path for everybody, since it's basically a completely different set of skills even if you're still on a software engineering team. And it's a hard job. But so far for me, it's been a good change.
It doesn't have to be management. Maybe it's product, or support, something else. The point is, you've likely got some skills that are related to getting software products out the door, there's probably a way to translate that into a non-technical role, if that sounds interesting to you.
I would also second what others said about burnout or depression. For me it was anxiety. Not a bad idea to talk to your doctor or a mental health professional.
