Consider that being burned out you don't have any upcoming funds anyway. If you force yourself to earn something, you just burn deeper, get fired or can't find work.

So it's lose-lose, and the best advice is just let it go and focus on your mental health.

Because without it there won't be any money anyway.

Lean on your friends, downsize, shed everything inessential, do what it takes. But don't force yourself to continue as is, it'll only make it worse in the end.
