Can you get a medical leave? I was/am in your shoes, and I managed to get a leave from a doctor (general doctor, then psychiatrist). After almost 2 months off I feel so much better. Of course this is likely to tip off your boss (I just didn't care any more, so wasn't an issue for me). After 4-6 weeks of just walks in nature and sleep fixing (medication included) I am now being highly encouraged by my therapist to get regular exercise, and also to find out what I want to do in my life.
I am European, this might matter.

- H8crilA 5y agoThe psychiatrist prescribed me Trazodone and sticking to a strict sleep schedule. Needless to say those are not over-the-counter drugs so go to a doctor if you need them. Also, in general it was very instructive for me to read carefully the Wikipedia page for occupational burnout.
- tinyhouse 5y agoThanks. I tried Trazodone but the dry mouth side effect was too much for me.
