I don’t think I can mark this as “I have done this”... more like I have beat it “for now”.
How to beat burnout syndrome
It made me
able to work again 
"This was really hard, I'm not sure what really helped."
How I did it: In the beginning I wasn't sure what went wrong. Nobody could really tell if I was just being lazy, depressed or burnt out.
The main trigger was probably the stressful day–to–day routine at the business with high expectations, demanding work with communities, with myself anticipating more that was really viable. It all led to apathy and effectively rendered myself completely unable to execute any meaningful work and provide results.
I just needed time to get back to shape, with help from my friends and teammates (I tried to avoid any professional help) — I started playing golf, going to more concerts, found more rewarding projects to work on, spent some time working and traveling abroad and all these bits and pieces helped me to fight it.
Lessons & tips: It's better to avoid burnout again at all costs.
Resources: Red Bull, ginseng, friends and lots of time.
