One more thought, as someone a bit older and wiser than when I first went through these kind of stresses.
Startups are like girlfriends/boyfriends when you're young. When you find your first love you're convinced you'll not find anything this special again. You do anything to hold onto it. But it goes eventually. You're distraught. Then your second love comes along. This time it's the REAL DEAL. You have perspective to realize that it wasn't the end of the world losing the last one. You learned. You grew. Often then that one doesn't work out, you're heartbroken, it's the end of the world.
Except it isn't. The next one is the REAL DEAL, you were crazy for thinking the last one was... and so it goes. This isn't the end of the world. Take a break. Find support structures. Get exercise. Change your routine. Quit the pot. Perspective will come and it'll make you see things in a clearer light.
