Advice? Try to find the reason behind this feeling, this "exhaustion", or why working is "consuming" you, because this doesn't lead to a sustainable way of living. Chances are when you get back (if you don't happen to fall into a downward spiral. It's easy to fall into one if you cut your social contact, your income, safety net etc. All these could make getting back into the workfield quite hard), things won't be massively better, unless you address the root cause.
