I'm taking plenty of multi-month brakes, but they don't feel like recovery. As soon as I'm back to work, after the initial honeymoon that lasts maybe 3-5 weeks, I'm already contemplating quiting the job again.

3 months wasn't enough for me to be fair, I did half capacity freelancing remotely for about two years and that was what allowed me to re-engage with work in a healthy manner. I learned a lot about my limits, how to work within them and how to spot when I'm draining my bucket so to speak.
I've been doing the dame every year for years. I'm not sure how to get out of this cycle. I will try some meditation and some healthier lifestyle and hopefully it'll help but I can't be sure.
I've recently arrived at financial independence. It was the only way to break the cycle for me.
