You have to be a little bit selfish to do design work. I went through a couple rough patches -- once, when people got too pushy on requests and the second when I shared a repaint with someone and in less than two days it was on a pirate site.
Coming to realize that I need to design what I want to build and whether anyone builds it or not, was huge to my mental welfare.
You just need to do what you want to do. I hope you don't throw in the towel, but if that's what you need to do, then 'okay'. I hope that you can find something you want to design just for yourself, design it, build it and can say 'Yes, I'm glad I did this'
