Hey, I absolutely feel this and it caused me multiple burnouts. It's hard to explain how compoundingly demoralising multiple 'failed' attempts at doing something are when you feel like you're putting in so much effort. It's only my experience, but when I look back a lot of my effort was misdirected. It's very easy to feel like you're at 120% when you're focusing on what you know, but sometimes you need to shift the focus. I can't tell you whether the project you're working is worth continuing or whether there's money there, or whether you should continue it alone. I can tell you that I'm now working with 2 other founders and it's made me considerably happier than my solo efforts. There's always someone to talk to and whilst we still wear a lot of hats, we primarily concentrate on the bits we're good at and encourage each other to keep going. I guess I'm saying - take a step back, maybe see if you can pull in help. You don't need to be happy all the time, but you do need to be content in your day to day (it's always going to be a struggle if you don't want to get up in the morning). If you're not there step back further and maybe see how a 'career' job works for you. Nothing is permanent, you can always step sideways, leave, or try something else until you figure out what works for you. Good luck!
