Unsurprisingly this will be an anecdotal advice but here goes: Find a new job that nobody expects you to code. I know, it sounds hard - especially if your whole career is dedicated to one thing - but you probably have picked up other skills as you are doing your job.

The thing is I began this thing as a wonderful skill to build new things. I was coding in C64 when I was 8-9 years old. But we lose our "mojo" as it turns into a humdrum everyday job where we know our limits. Add in the business related constraints, you slowly begin to develop a toxic relationship. And like any toxic relationship, ending it is better in the long run for your mental health. It was for me.

Taking a long vacay doesn't work if you implicitly know that you will return to the same routine by the way.

Hope it helps.

Edit: Currently working as a general IT troubleshooter guy who is also doing some coding in his spare time.
