^^^ this is great advice.

For some of us (not all) taking a long break makes stuff worse because we are so identified with the whole work/money axis. If you’re like this, find ways to stay busy and make some income, even just a little, like driving Uber or cooking in a restaurant or whatever you might have up your sleeve. Remember that simple jobs can still be super satisfying when done well.

The advice about serving others is especially good. Acts of service have pulled me out of all kinds of dark places over the years, and surrounded me with people that remind me of how much real goodness there is in our otherwise cynical world.
