Not sure about that, sometimes I feel like I am only happy when I'm doing nothing. I guess this is a good analogy; bottom out, admit defeat, and then start over new. But preferably in the same industry which pays well.

Take a break. Do something else for a month and return. I don't know why this is unwelcome or even controversial advice.

This strategy has already lifted others out of their darkness so I can only wonder about the motives of those who disagree.

So yeah, burn out is a thing. Use it. Build your resilience. Re-examine your purpose and reconnect with it.

This really resonated with me, thanks so much.
