Can’t stay at a job

As the title says, I (29F) can’t stay at a job for very long. I used to at least be able to last a couple years, but as time passes it’s gotten worse. I just started my current job at the beginning of this month and I’m already burnt out, to where it feels physically impossible to wake up and go.

But that dwindled quickly, as I’m also a single parent. I’m very worried about how I can continue to provide any type of stability for my child but I also now at this point barely even trust myself to start another job because I feel I’ll end up doing the same thing. I know I need to work but I feel like something is just fundamentally wrong. I understand things easily and often get complimented about how great I am to work with, so it’s not like I’m not good at the jobs or am incompetent in some way. I just get burnt out so quickly. Idk what to do. Is there some kind of disability pay I can get or something? Is there anyone else like this? What can I do?
