I suffered some extreme burnout that disrupted everything in my life for years. I managed to stay employed and even advanced in my career, but it was through sheer willpower alone. I won’t go through the details of how horrific my life was and the suffering I endured. What helped me the most was meditation, specifically vipassana (insight mindfulness) meditation, grounded in Theravada Buddhism, as taught by Gil Fronsdal. In fact, not only did it help me recover entirely from my burnout, I am happier and more involved in all aspects of my life with a clear focus on the things that give me pleasure. I can only say as further fallacious appeal for this method there’s a reason Buddha - a normal man with no magical powers or claim to godhood, not offering magical immortality with your best friends forever, or really anything other than a way of meditating and thinking about life - has a major world religion and his teachings have spanned thousands of years. It’s not a religion, it’s a guidebook on how to have a human mind. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Fronsdal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Fronsdal Introduction to meditation: https://www.audiodharma.org/series/introduction https://www.audiodharma.org/series/introduction Good luck! I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, but for me at least it was a gateway to a richer life.
