Nah, GP is right. There is feeling burned out on something specific and being well and truly burned out. The former can be shrugged off with tricks, the latter feels like being dead inside until you rest for long enough to reset.

honestly seems like it would work on a spectrum. I've been burned out. Not as bad as GP but where I've had to take a week off to find stability again. Everything except the timescales seem to line up.

I do get what GP is trying to say though. I just believe its all the same and "small burnout" can be fixed with small tricks.

Is... Is that really what I have to do? But I have a job.

Yeah it's what you have to do. You were abused (by yourself) and you're going to have to admit that it's a problem, make very real steps to recover from it, and make sure that it never, ever happens again as you're now 1000x more susceptible to the ill effects that come from that sort of abuse.

Pretty much! Save up, take 6-12 months off, you will feel way better.
