They must have optimized it for making more money rather than showing proper results

I am exactly in the same place (burnout) and here are a few things that have started to help me

1. Daily Yoga practice. (One session in morning and another one in evening. I generally do Yin Yoga in the evenings and it seems to help release a lot of stress). You can find lot of good Yin yoga videos on Youtube.

2. Write a Journal. Try to figure out your deepest motivations. Why did you act in ways that lead to burnout. Try to write about how you can bring back balance.

3. Have a balanced work schedule.

Also, don't forget.. "A job is just a job and it does not define you. You always have a choice"

May be you put a lot more stress to finish up things before you leave on vacation. And that extra stress causes a decrease in immunity leading to sickness.

I recommend you to read the following books

1. Indistractible by Nir Eyal

2. Happiness Trap by Russ Harris

These books will help you get to the root of your addiction and give you a way to come out of it.

A few questions you must ask yourself before making the decision to move to US.

1. Do you enjoy your current Work? Do you enjoy your current lifestyle in western Europe?

2. If the answer is Yes; Are you still willing to let go of your current enjoyable lifestyle for a few extra bucks??

The grass may always look greener on the other side; but it may not always be worth it.
