Startup Life Got You Down?

Every day feels like a repeat of the last. I'm just going through the motions, and I'm losing my josh. It's like they expect us to work 24/7, but honestly, what's the benefit? One day I'm thinking, "Screw it, I'm quitting!" The next day, I'm like, "Okay, I need the paisa." Please help!
