UX/UI/Product brainfog

This is maybe a silly question, but lately I've been struggling to approach UX design tasks (I'm ~2-3yrs into UX and have one of those in-house catchall UX/UI/product/brand/graphic design remote jobs). Nothing feels connected to anything, the teams I work with are distracted and/or misaligned, I look at user experience problems and am just like, "why?" Everything is B2B SaaS and nothing is about real life or real people, but also prod can't build things and I feel disconnected from real people. Other companies don't seem to be interested in hiring me, and I'm not sure why anyone is making software anyway; haven't we all had enough of screens? It's weird vibes all around.

Is this just creative block? Do I just need therapy? Is/has anyone else gone through something similar? And what's a good way to approach moving past it? I don't really have anyone to mentor/guide me so here I am on Reddit lol
