Are you getting enough sleep and exercise? Meditation? The brain is a muscle like any other.

Plenty. I am on a tight sleep schedule, I sleep well mostly. I run 80-100 km a week. I don't meditate. I tried Headspace for a week, but it didn't do much for me.

Might be time to talk to a CBT specialist. Think of it like physical therapy for the brain. It actually changes connectivity patterns.

80-100 km a week is far too much. You loose all your vital energy. You are exhausted, not relaxed.
