Ask HN: Lost Interest in Job

I’ve lost all interest in my job to the point where it’s hard to even show up to the office. I’ve been doing full stack engineering for about 5 years now and I’m just utterly and completely not excited about anything related to web dev anymore.

I still enjoy programming but only for things that I’m interested in like side projects and game development which both have very little to do with my day job, and I don’t necessarily want to pursue employment in the few programming related fields I still enjoy lest they become like my current job.

What do I do now? I have to work but even thinking about interviewing for a new job or continuing to work like this makes me sick to my stomach. Preparing to do interviews by grinding leetcode is also not something I want to do anymore, and the result would be the same even if I change jobs.
