I feel this from time to time. I found that I needed to separate pleasure, work and leisure. I do random stuff for pleasure, which does not lead to any meaningful result at work. But it makes me feel that I am learning something.

I work for money. I do not necessarily derive pleasure from work but it pays the bills. I try not to work at high pressure environments.

For leisure, I have friends who just like to chit-chat, relax and play some games or go on hikes. We rarely discuss work. I love that about my friend circle that I can totally disconnect from my personal problems and work pressure and just relax.

I think you need to take it easy on yourself and take a 2-4 weeks time off from everything. Relax and decide what is important for you.
