A few years ago I suffered a burnout that eventually got me fired. What I think you need is a meaningful, collaborative effort. It doesn't necessarily have to be anything "useful". You just need a community with a common goal. Volunteering seems to work great here, but I've seen people pick up co-op games, team crocheting or collaborative art. It appears that the real recovery is the friendships you made along the way.
