Comment on Ask HN: I am spent and exhausted, I don't know what to doparent

I think servowire is correct - you need time off. It can get to the point where you simply cannot work.

My advice would be to just quit. Your mental and physical health is more important than anything else. There are always other opportunities out there. You could even work at a non-computer job for a while, and possibly work on your own projects in your spare time (once you get your motivation back).

Having suffered from burnout myself, I think it was actually a useful experience, as it forced me to make changes to my life and I am now living a much more fulfilling lifestyle.

I'm happy to chat more privately.
