If you're not enjoying it, maybe you don't want to do it? Is there something else that interests you more?
If SE really is what you want to do, see if you can think of some very small/achievable fun projects that you can apply to your personal life.
For example, A while back I noticed my wife was watching a Wifi enabled TV and I was curious to learn Go at the time. I searched for Go libraries on Github for the TV and made a terminal based remote control in about 30 minutes. It took her a while to figure out why it kept muting 😂 . That was really fun and taught me a little about Go at the time.
tl;dr, combine your coding skills with your other interests if you have some.
Do you like gaming? Maybe modding, scripting could work for you.
Gardening? How about building a plant monitor.
Make a new website in a new framework or technology to show off your skills.
Wow. Your examples keep me remind me of myself having fun in the past. Thanks bro. I think I am sure I want to continue my career as Software Engineer. But sometimes I feel like I left behind that so many tech are evolving around me and I couldn't catch up in time. My problem is I want to know everything details.

I love that.
Even being motivated most of the time it's nice to see how many things you can do coding by simply using a raspberry (as example) and a couple of sensors; you can create domotic, gadgets, utilities and so on and you can also code in JS, Java, Python, C++ and a large bunch of other languages on it.
Want a smart doorbell? Sure!
A wall clock on steroids? That sounds like a nice weekend project.
An automated irrigating system for your garden plants? Let's do it!
I'm 95% a web dev so it seems nice to me to use other platforms between web projects :)

A great advice 👏

It does move fast for sure. You can't know everything though. I hope you find your groove again!
