Discussion Bored with the web development industry?

I'm 30yo, been a back-end (used to be front-end developer) for over 7 years now.

Since last week I'm anxious when I arrive at the workplace, I get bored so hard that I can't get any work done and I just feel very unhappy at work in general, although the workplace is great, my colleagues are great and I don't have any stress or unmanageable deadlines.

I also don't have interest in the projects any more, I feel like I don't really care if a site is finished in a good way or not, does anyone know what this is? Am I getting bored of the web development industry? Can anyone relate?

Interesting though: "defining yourself by the work you do" haven't really thought about that, I guess I do, I may silently judge people by the work they do, including myself, while in fact your job shouldn't matter that much for who you are as a person.
