Thanks, I that is exactly what I am wondering, is it just burnout and a good long holiday or a hobby can solve or is it something more ad I need to change my line of work. before starting in the tech sector I thought tech is big, it has money, it must be a constant stream of excitement, that is not the case and I am a person which actively seeks new excitements and needs to have a sense of urgency in life

Burnout can be both. My understanding is it's where your line of work gradually starts to get associated with unpleasantness. There are levels and degrees of it and it can get worse over time. Sometimes taking a break works, changing companies, finding another niche within the same profession, or sometimes you really do need to find a whole 'nother career. For some people it's a lifelong battle. I recommend taking a few days and removing yourself from work just to think it through.
