They don't have to quit. They could ask for a leave of absence or reduced workload in the form of temporary consulting. I would ask about those options before submitting a letter of resignation. It may turn out that OP just needs a break, and a few months of travelling the world or whatever is enough to set them on a path to success.

- sugaroverflow 5y agoThis is true! A leave of absence and a break could help a lot to reset their headspace. Some companies offer a mental health leave with documentation from a psychologist and it remains confidential. I also think OP could use some change at work so that they're not coming back to the same intense workload or routine that is boring them. Maybe the things they used to be excited about aren't the same anywhere and changing up responsibilities or projects might help.
