You're not alone.

I'm not depressed as you but here what helped me after 3 months break between jobs.

- Shutdown your cluster Forget about work at all, no phones, no computers max a netflix night with your partner. - Adopt an exercise routine in your time off, things like: walk in the park, around the block, two blocks, functional training, running, jogging. The first 3 weeks are critical to creating a habit.

- Talk to friends about your condition, the better you vent out you will fill better if you can't try a therapy. I did a career coach after 18 years working in IT.

- Listen more and reduce your words by 50% a day. I listen more than I talk these days.

- Less is important, donate what you don't have and stay with the bare minimum.

- Read books instead of social media.

These things helped me get out from a coma after burnout feeling.

Hope this helps.
