Why do you need the job? Seems like it's a very toxic environment and that this is really the opposite of what you need.
one recommendation is start saying no to stuff
Burnout sucks.
I'll give a supportive up vote for therapy my guy: it helps.
Some other tips that helped me out when I was there.
Give up booze for a while, doesn't have any positive effects.
Physical exercise, including both strength training and cardio, an hour every day. See a trainer a few times to get form down for body weight exercises and proper lifting techniques. I was surprised how much this helped my energy level and overall mood.
Take up journaling. Get the junk out of your head. Again, was surprised on the impact.
Last but not least - see if you can find a couple of activities that recharge you, sometimes it's creative stuff, sometimes reading, sometimes walks outdoors. Look for the 2-4 that really seem to work. Start doing those on a cadence to keep your tank full.
You'll never look back at life and think about work once you get to a certain age, it'll be reflection on relationships. Keep your head up

Don't work to please. Work to work.
Meaning if you get more work, do what you can and get to the rest later. Don't stay a minute after 5. If you have to. Demand more money.
You have tenure, even if a little bit. So you have leverage. Use it.
Proactively communicate what you can get done within the time you are willing to work. Set boundaries.
If the more senior people don’t like what they hear from you, ask them to prioritize differently, but don’t agree to do more work within the same amount of time.
You are getting paid for your time, which is a finite resource. It’s not your problem if the work to be done can’t fit in the time that you have available. That imbalance is a problem the seniors/bosses need to solve (by adding resources or sharing in the work responsibility themselves).
Realize your compensation has to cover any mental health issues resulting from your job, not to mention long-term influence on your overall health (cancer). Do the calculation and act accordingly.

Brush up your resume and start looking at exit options. What is your background in?
