Burning out is common; I've seen enough other folks go through a mental "midlife" crisis, I thought I'd dodged it in my 30s. I didn't.
I think in today's era, it's just too difficult to live a slow enough life that you never once burn yourself out. Society is, not cyclically anymore, but perpetually ahead of its skis, and folks get continuously pulled beyond their own life-pace.
