What you're giving up on is an unhealthy and unrealistic idea of what "entrepreneurship" means. And that's good. Sounds like you've been following someone else's dream, not your own. I've seen it often, in the music and games industries for example. We've all been there. Failure after failure. But one doesn't give up because the trick is to find the definition of "entrepreneur" that fits you, for which you are suited, and successful, and by definition that is what entrepreneurship is. Don't buy into the pop culture. That said, always take a healthy break between projects, as you say, for the sake of your mental health. Good luck.
