Do you ever feel Burnt out at work?

I work as a Graphic Designer and honestly I'm burnt out. Creatively I am done. I work at a small design company of 5 people, 6 including my boss. Though small we work for some big companies (we don't get paid like we do though). Each day we can work on 4-7 projects. It's tough switching from project to project while trying to be creative at the same time. You might spend all your effort on one project and by the time you get to the next you have nothing left.

Then there's clients who are difficult, they can never decide what they want. Even when we give them what they asked for, they say it's not what they are looking for. With stress from my anxiety/depression, personal issues and dealing with the chaos that is NYC, it's tough. Sometimes I'll sit there with nothing in my head. Sometimes I feel the pay isn't worth the stress and headache.

@SW-User Thank you, I'm trying to learn as much as I can from my current one to hopefully start my own thing. Trying to find a better company but NYC is so competitive that it's hard.
