Wow, firstly respect for the experience you have!

I'm sorry to hear you feel so bad. What do you think the general reason is for you feeling awful (e.g. do you feel stressed at your current job, burnt out, just don't enjoy development anymore, etc.?)

Normally, working on my side projects is the thing I always look forward to. But sometimes I'll go days or weeks where working on them doesn't bring the usual satisfaction, and it's a terrible feeling to lose that passion.

After a while my enthusiasm comes back, but your situation is probably different having been in the industry so long. Do you have other interests?
