There's alot to untangle here. But a few notes for op:
1. Being burned out happens, as does being in a bad situation. Rarely does it get as bad as you say without there being other factors that make it bad. (Misfit, bad management, boredom, etc...)
2. If you are fresh out of college, yes, working is a very different thing than college. College is a sprint. Working is a marathon. You can't approach the two the same. There's a reason why people work only 40hrs a week or so... Doing more can be actively counterproductive.
3. If you did what you said on your break... you didn't take a break. And simply knowing you have to return to a work environment you don't like can ruin any vacation.
4. In the end, burnout is hard. The key is to forgive yourself, and the people around you... rest, and be ready to go again, wiser this time.
5. Your future is up to you. But, if you want to be in tech, realize as you go on in tech, as in all industries... it isn't about tech, it is about people.
If I can be of assistance to you. Ping me. I've been through where you are... and recovered.

In office people found me kind of funny and enjoyed having me around, WFH though? I disappear and get forgotten about. 2) College for me was a decade ago. I've had probably three or four full time jobs since that point, one absolutely amazing one was over half that time. 3) You're right on both fronts.
