Comment on Ask HN: Is burnout possible after only a year?

Comments

I have a lot of coworkers who aren't eager to assist

Hard to stay engaged when you aren't being recognized and feel like you're on your own.

It's not in the cards that you will be made manager to change things or have your pay doubled to compensate for the environment you're currently in, so I suggest you do look for a different place. The interesting company isn't worth it if your mental health suffers. That recognition thing I mentioned? The way toxic environments work, as soon as you burn out enough that you can't do your job anymore, they just chuck you out the door and replace you with someone else. They don't care about you. You need to care about yourself.
