Take a few steps back and try to recall the real reason why you were so passionate early on: you found something that resonated with you deeply. You will not gain that same insight if you do not just "let it go" (no Disney-esque pun intended there).

Often times, holding onto what made you happy or satiated your desires despite it hurting you in a bad way, is a recipe for a downward spiral to nowhere.

Try a new hobby, make sure new people are involved. Sign up for a class in accounting or something related to woodworking. Important part of this practice is _people_. You must have others new people around you that have _no_ idea about what you do professionally or during most of you waking hours. That way you will not feel the weight of the world on you shoulders.

I have been there, man. However, it only gets better if you own it. Good luck!
