Ask HN: Any other programmer lost their mind?

I'm in my thirties. Couple months ago I resigned from my well paying software dev job, moved back in with my parents, and been spending most of my day playing collectible card games and eating through my savings.

I thought I just needed a break from programming, but my total repulsion for the software industry has only grown. I've no idea what's happening and feel like if i get another sw job i'll just quit in a couple days or something.

I've also read about burnout being common after several years, but i don't feel bunt out. I really feel like i'm loosing it tbh, or maybe i should go work on something completely different for awhile.

Sorry for the rant.
