Recovering from burnout

AN2 at MM bank.

Extremely burnout, coming up on 2nd bonus in a few months. I literally have zero motivation or desire to do anything. Mental health is in shambles. Would taking a few months before recruiting in this market be wise or smart? I’m in my early - mid 20s, and wouldn’t mind some time to recalibrate myself through the gym / traveling / etc. Anyone else do this? Worth it?
