There's this old story that I've read, about how a jeweler would spend all his working hours sorting over the precious stones and segregating them in piles according to their value. On his hand is a ring with the highest quality of diamond. Whenever he feels like his eyes are getting tired of all the sparkly goodness of the stones that he began to fail to see the difference of the stones, he will put down his eyeglass and look at his own ring. Then when he looks back to his work, his sight has been re-polished. I think it's the same with our work. Sometimes when we get burned out with work or the people we work with, we have to step back, take a break, see the sights, get energized so we go back to work with more vigor and more inspired to perform better. We're just humans, we also get tired. But as humans, we have the ability to get back from where we have fallen and perform even much better.

I'm so sorry you're feeling overwhelmed by your job. Nobody can enjoy work if things are feeling like that.
In my case, whenever I'm tired of work, I first look at if I'm really tired of my work per sé, or if I'm just tired, period. Have I not been sleeping enough? Usually getting a lot more sleep make me want to do everything I need to again.
If you think you are really tired of your job, then you must remember that your health and sanity comes first. If your job is making you sick and tired, then indeed it is time for a break, or a new job. Get whichever one you believe you truly need.
