I felt like you once OP, and there was an HN post that was a network for depressed devs. (This was years ago).
I lost the link + had issues signing up... probably due to exevutive dysfunction from feeling like I had to find some special person or social network to have my CV fairly evaluated.
I'd try to take some time off, if you have the money.
I cannot emphasize how deeply I regret not quitting my job last I was in the EU and getting on plane to SE to explore the world.
I'm currently sitting having spent what was my emergency fund to an abusive landlord, selling stock from an IRA periodically until it is safe to exit my current location, as I struggle to give people the "level of customer service they desire", for lack of a better phrasing.
I'm unemployed. My email is in my bio if any recruiters want to reach out -- I've never had competing offers before, which feels odd considering the conversations I had at every role I worked in, but I don't pretend to understand the "working" world... aside from a job as a sandwich artist, pretty much every role I've had was at a nonprofit, but that was more due to coercion than choice.
I sincerely hope you can find some joy in your life.
Here's a pointer to a list of visa requirements for US citizens: get out of the country if you can, even if it's just Canada or Mexico:
