Leaving the ratrace to start a bootstrapped SaaS worked good for the first 5 years.

Now into year 6 of bootstrapping a SaaS.. I am in the same exact boat as OP. And I can't take time off, at least not enough time off to "fix" the burnout.

It's painful. I didn't realize selling apps is very less of building software. Sure market is important, but it's even less than "changing our type of person". If self-promotion or narcissism is not our type, we are doomed.
