Whatever you have to, mate.
Break whatever cycles you feel are detrimental to your emotional/physical/spiritual wellbeing and pave a new path for yourself.
If you have money saved up, or can sell a bunch of stuff and live frugally, get out of your normal space so that you can gather new perspective on life.
A few ideas, as I know creativity can be blocked when you're feeling the weight of everything. Feel free to ignore, or take any of these and run with them.
- Go on a road trip, alone or with friends (having friends around will keep your mind from thinking about things), for a week or two. If you don't have a job right now, go longer. Or fly somewhere new.
- Stay in a hotel, or go camping, just because. Break up the norm.
- Learn a new physically engaging skill. Snowboarding takes me out of that burnt out state of mind.
- Go on a silent retreat. Some of them are donation based.
> My coping method to that has been to try to hold my work together more and more
Remember, life may be work, but work is not life.
Most importantly, breathe.

It was great - taught me how to slow down entirely - you need to be 100% "immersed" in what you are doing - you have to breathe consistently and calmly I loved it and it helped me heaps (in addition to doing all the other good things mentioned above!)
