[Bystander]

been there, done that - still working my way out of it.

One thing I have learned, though - this all started because I forgot WHY I was doing what I was doing, and work was EXTREMELY unrewarding (no challenge). My wife handles the bills, so I never see the money. We have kids, so most of our free time is devoted to them, the house, the cars, etc. What I realized was that I had forgotten what I enjoy (beyond video games, which were an incredible time sink). I sat down and started making a list of all the things that I like to do - no matter how small, or how obvious. That's given me something to work for (like saving money to scuba dive, or fix up my bicycle).

I also started back running and weight-training, which helps improve my mood too (more energy). I've started new job responsibilities at work, which has helped get me out of my funk there - it's incredible was hard-working people will do (meaning, they forget that they can automate), so automating most of my new responsibilities is my new mountain to climb.
