Sounds like a break would be good for your mental health. 

I've been gone for about a year or so and it's been pretty great overall, I've grown a lot in that time since I started focusing on sorting myself out. It was hard at first because I had to face the fact that I too had been addicted and had been using VR as the ultimate form of escapism. I don't regret the many hours spent on it though. I have plenty of great memories to look back on. Even the "mistakes" that I made I am grateful for, as they helped me grow/mature after distancing myself and seeing the bigger picture. 

Don't beat yourself up for where you're at right now, things can always get better when you shift your focus/attention, don't dwell on the negative shit. I hope you find yourself in a better headspace in the near future. In the event that you are forced to take a break, just think of it as an opportunity to refocus/recalibrate so that you have the option to come back later refreshed or to move on entirely to something that you find more interesting.

Have you been lurking the thread consistently for those 3 years? What makes you stick around despite not playing for so long? Today's my first time checking it in forever, it doesn't seem like much has changed desu. I can kind of relate to how you feel though, it feels familiar yet at the same time, alien. I also wonder how my old friends are doing, but it's been so long that I don't think I'd ever rejoin to find out since like you said the dynamics has most likely changed so much since VR time always did move at lightspeed compared to reality.
