Ugh. If I were describing these symptoms for myself, it would be depression on top of burnout. They're related, but depression is the great paralyzer for me. Pro tip: find a therapist if you don't already have one.

Beyond that, my burnout recovery approach tends to involve:

1. Setting stakeholder expectations, letting everyone who might need something from me know they're not going to get it. This takes a load off my mind, and buys me breathing room.
2. Rest and recover, which it sounds like you're trying to do already.
3. Start picking up small enjoyable tasks, including hobbies and such. Low effort, low stakes, short duration is the sweet spot for me. This helps me remind myself that I am capable of action, and what progress and success feel like.
4. Gradually pick up bigger things, taking it as slow as I need to.

I hope this helps! And please feel free to ping me on Teams if you need to. ❤️
