Here is one suggestion - It is much, much cheaper to live outside of US. You might not be rich enough to take a break in US, but have you considered taking a break by moving somewhere else? South East Asia, South America, Mexico all come to my mind.

Taking time to relax is critical and we miss it out in all the rush. Just living with content is not expensive and it is a "monkish" lifestyle.

I'd like to riff off of the above poster's great comment.

Even taking an inexpensive trip through Mexico by bus (Autobuses ADO) and staying in hostels might effectively hit a 'reset' button.

If you've already had COVID, you don't have to worry about that, and climbing a few ancient pyramids, eating fried lime/salt crickets, and being surrounded by new sights, smells, and sounds at the tianguis might yank you out of your fog.
