I quit my corporate job three years ago and started a business with one other person. We've proven the concept, have revenue, customers, etc. but need funding to really get it off the ground. We are working on a deal that theoretically will bring in the capital we need, but it continually gets delayed and I'm not sure if it will ever happen. I'm a strong believer that bringing in the wrong money can make your life miserable, so I don't want to find money from just any investor if it isn't a good fit. But we're running out of money to keep the business going and I'm struggling to find any motivation to keep up with the day to day. This has been my primary job for the last three years, but I have never gotten a salary from it and have put lots of my own money into it and I just don't want to give anymore. Because it's always been on the verge of growing, I've never taken on another full time job and have just done the random part-time job. I was fairly successful in the corporate world and even though I hated my job, I at least felt challenged and valuable. The part-time work I've taken on is not something that really fulfills me in any way.
I just don't know if I can do it anymore. I believe in the business and I think with funding, it could turn into something that I will really enjoy. But right now and for the last three years, it's been a constant struggle and I'm to the point where even the smallest tasks seem impossible. I don't want to do anything and I get myself in a loop of guilt that makes me feel like I'm lazy and it will be my fault if this all fails, which just makes it even harder to motivate myself. I feel useless and it's starting to leak into other parts of my life where I don't want to be around people, I just feel like hiding under blankets all day. Shutting it down seems painful and financially doesn't make sense, so I just feel stuck and I don't know how to get excited about it again. Ultimately I want to find a way to keep going, I just don't know how to do that and how much more I can take. Any advice would help!
