It sounds like you got what you needed, but just in case you do want more (or if someone else reading this thread wants more), I highly recommend the book Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, PhD.
I am just now finally completing my recovery from the worst burnout of my life. It has taken me over a year to recover, and for the first three months I was completely useless. My brain stopped functioning properly. I couldn't even read fiction -- I could read the words, but I couldn't make sense of the story. Talking became difficult, too. It was scary, because I didn't know what was happening to me.
After a lot of trial-and-error to learn the right kinds of self-care for me, along with acupuncture and herbalism treatment from a naturopathic physician, I slowly began to recover earlier this year. As I recovered, I did lots of research to try to figure out what the hell had happened. I found out two things: 1. I'm autistic and didn't know it, which is why my burnout looked the way that it did. 2. I've been severely overworking myself most of my life, and this had only gotten worse as I'd discovered my life purpose, gotten super passionate about it, and went into overdrive.
Dr. Devon Price's book helped me the most with the second discovery. It gave me a completely new perspective. It helped me see that when I'm feeling "lazy", that's not something to fight or ignore -- it's in fact a valuable signal to pay attention to. There can be many different causes, but it's always a legitimate message from my subconscious.
Following one's Life Purpose is a marathon, not a sprint. I now strongly believe that a critical part of winning the marathon is to learn how to pace oneself and to take the necessary breaks.
