In the case of the former, all it took was to step back and gather myself, I did this by doing something different, a battle royal where everybody made PCs and pitted them against each other was one, another was letting someone else (actually two people) run a couple of one shots. The latter, well, that was a bad situation and I ended up folding the group and not gaming again for nearly 2 very long years.It sounds to me that your tired of your players, or rather they're play style. So I would guess you need to do something different. Since you want to stay with fantasy and D&D, try running an evil campaign or go with something whimsical like Adventures in Candyland or something like that for a change of pace. Outside of those the Co-DM, mentioned above might be good, as it could allow you to help a fellow DM into new ways of thinking, while giving you a break from time to time and a DM who could run a game more along the lines of what you would like.The last thing you want to do is get out of gaming, because you'll miss it way to much, and I speak from experience.</blockquote>
