This really resonates with me. I (think?) I like my job a lot but I’ve been having absolutely no motivation. Took a good vacation to try to get over some burnout but came back feeling exactly the same as before.

Maybe I need just a personal stay at home vacation to just spend time on hobbies and interests or something. Or just find a new job lol

I think that sometimes the burnout is internal, rather than in relation to something external like my job. It's also hard to separate the DGAF mood from other stressors like lack of sleep (something my video game habit has not helped with).

Yup, same. And it’s just exacerbated when I have to work later to get everything done because I’ve been working so slow and begrudgingly all day.
