Has this gone beyond burnout at this point and become genuine depression or will this get better after recovering from burnout?

💁‍♀️ seeking advice / support / information

Example of how I've knowdest my life change:

I used to be basically unable to touch my head without discomfort, but now I find myself rubbing my head all the time

I fully no longer feel creativity, and very irregularly feel engaged with anything really

I just cry sometimes when overwhelmed or hearing something destressing but I'm not even really upset consciously

Used to feel like tension in my temples but now the muscles just relaxed

I used to regularly stay up to late night/early morning now I'm tired like all the time and ready to go to bed before 12:00

Somehow it's actually easier for me to do some things now? Like it's easier for me to make some transitions and just do a task when I think I should. (Like I regularly water my plants now? I think, oh I need to take care of basic need and I can just go do it I don't feel unable to transition from my current thing)

My brain just feels quite. It used to feel like electricity was always flowing through me but now I'm just kinda.... Here? Except when my like eyes like hurt?

Like I'm just not sure at this point. I really miss who I was before I just hope I can be that again. this sucks!! Is this just common experience for end stage audhd burnout like or is my brain like seriously fucked now?
