Advice on curing seemingly incurable burn out?

I can’t answer more than 3 questions before feeling burned out.. help!

I’m an img, I started studying for step 1 four years ago.. i never really stopped studying just went through seasons that I decreased intensity/got distracted/sick-of-it.
I’ve been back at it and studying for the past few months again.. but I can’t.. CANNOT seem to study for more than 1-2 hrs.. sometimes it’s so severe, I’m tired after 3 questions..
I’m so tired and done with it.. I don’t know what to do to make this better?

I tried taking a long break(multiple days without studying), I tried sleep, supplements, tutors, therapy, vitamins, medication, switching study places, studying with other people, studying alone, changing study methods, exercising and nothing..

My burn out threshold is extremely low and I can’t seem to fix it.

Any Advice?

Should I look for alternative careers?

Hey guys,

I’ve been studying for step 1 for about 4 years. With ups and downs of course… but I never fully stopped.

Anyways.. I used to be able to study many hours a day and finish many question blocks a day..
but now? I’m burned out after 3 uworld questions. Not blocks. 3 single questions… I tried taking a long break but nothing has helped…

Im back at studying now, but I just.. can’t.. I get so tired so late. I tried taking a long break(multiple days without studying), I tried sleep, supplements, tutors, therapy, vitamins, medication, switching study places, studying with other people, studying alone, changing study methods, exercising and nothing..

I don’t know what else to try? Any advice for what seems to be incurable burn out? Or should I try to pursue something else?
