Some suggestions (in the order of priority):

1. Take a break / (at least) 1 week vacation

2. Speak with your counsellor/manager and ask if you could be staffed on a new projects (maybe in 3 months)

3. Don’t work / take calls / reply to emails after 19:00 / weekends

4. Join a Hobby course / sports - at least over weekends - this would break monotony in your day to day routine

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
