Antiwork

My last job burned me out into oblivion. Got poached by my dream job, but months in I still can’t feel anything

Please help. My new boss can tell I’m out of it — exhausted, unfocused, slow, etc. despite being too new for anything to have gone seriously wrong yet. I tell them I’m excited to work there and then can’t actually act like it. I love the field I’m in. I loved my last job, at least until staffing crunches started. I take great pride in my work (or I used to), it’s a huge part of who I am. How do I give a shit again? Has that one awful company ruined my brain forever?
