It doesn't sound like OPs current burn out is specific to this one job. Most people don't wake up on day 1 of burnout and say "oh man I'm burned out now." In my experience burnout creeps up over years and you only realize it when you can no longer cope.
If they leave this job for a new one they'll still be burned out, just like the last two times in the past year they left their job for a new one.
My advice is the same as other commenters, OP should seek professional help with therapy. There are other things that can help like meditation, but in my experience there's no quick fix.

Sometimes it's not even about job. I have ALL the classical symptoms of burnout, but I still love both my jobs (full time and part time after hours) and would like to continue them, but I just can't gather enough focus to be as productive for the whole day. Fortunately, some light meds, workout and fresh air is starting to help.
100%, it wasn’t the job that made me burn out it’s just an additional factor. I think the straw that broke the camels back was an argument with my partner.
+1 this, as it also helps to sleep better and that makes a huge difference.
It's important to be consistent because it takes some time to start noticing the benefits.
Also, create a bed routine and stick to it. For example, taking a hot shower, brushing teeth and then going to bed right after help to slow down a racing mind.
Reading a book before bed as well, I'm always impressed how much I can read and how slow the time goes by and I'm already sleepy.
I can confirm that exercise and fresh air helps. As for sleep - do not oversleep. I had enough good sleep already, so sleeping more than 8h is counterproductive. If you feel sleepy, absolutely positively commit to two full days of doing nothing (no phone, no "doing chores" or tidying your home) and sleep whenever you feel like it. After this, try to create a routine, where you get 8h of sleep, but don't snooze. When alarm rings, just get up, or at least sit for max 5 min, don't lay on bed.
"Reading a book before bed as well" - doesn't help everyone, I get too excited with story and have trouble with stopping reading when the time comes.
