Almost all devs that care too much about their work burns out eventually. It is just FOSS devs have higher percentage of "caring too much about their work" syndrome, to the point doing it for free.
As someone that had similar issues, I would highly suggest everyone to view their job as job. You work on the time you were supposed to, do your best within your capabilities, raise issues when you see them but that is all. Don't overwork and try not to worry so much when things are not going the way you want them to be. You can still enjoy your work, just try not to have personal attachment to it.
But I guess that is harder for FOSS devs, since the reason they work is being too attached to their projects.
