I'm finding ways back but started to realize this .. it's probably one-way ticket. I think we can't fix it but we may be able to put in more good things to have better ratio.

When I ask myself the question about when I'll get back to the way I was, I also have to ask "Does that include being that person that let myself get burned out so badly in the first place?"
What I'm slowly getting back to is a different person than who I was. I have different priorities about how/where to apply and manage my curiosity and energy. If I can accept the person I'm turning into, then I feel like I'll be back one day.
If I want to be the person I was a decade ago who naively worked like a donkey until I burned out, then yes, I'm never coming back.

Yeah. Time travel lesson, as a present self if you see your future self show up, something terrible might already happen! "Why are you here, you did something wrong?"
