I changed my job recently to something that pays less, but that I don't have to think about outside of work. I was burnt out in my previous role in an office to the point that I couldn't get out of bed without crying. Things are really looking up now (apart from the finances, but I'll work on that!).
I also try to plan around my menstrual cycle. I tend to get quite tired in the week before and week of my period so I try to schedule more down time in these weeks and then try to squeeze in more social activities, exercise and creative pursuits in the other two weeks. It's like my body has a built in "reset" mode, and when I listen to it it does wonders for my mental health.
