Ask HN: It finally happened to me, how do you deal with burnout?

Hi everyone! As we all know this last year was rather stressful and due to some additional life events and pre-existing health issues it hit me a bit harder than most of my peers. I work as a data engineer and I'm rather green (4 years out of college), but I find myself struggling to focus or find the energy to work most days. I used to be so passionate about what I do and if myself 2 years ago saw the projects and responsibilities I have now, I'd squeal with glee. I know this is common in our field and I feel a bit stupid/guilty for it happening to me so soon in my career. Does anyone have any advice on overcoming this? Thank you guys in advance.
