$321k ARR as solo founder but burning out

I have a SaaS doing around $321k ARR. On paper, things are great. In reality, I am exhausted.

Being a solo founder means I am the support team, the dev team, and the sales team all at once. I have become the bottleneck for my own growth. I feel like I am just keeping my head above water instead of actually building a company.

I am honestly considering applying to YC just to find a co-founder. I know that sounds weird, but I feel like I need a partner to share the mental load more than I need the capital.

I have a few questions for people who have been here:

• Finding a partner late: Has anyone actually found a real co-founder after hitting six figures in revenue? Or is it better to just start hiring senior people?
• The YC route: Is it crazy to use YC as a way to find a partner when the product is already working?
• Burnout: How do you keep the momentum when you are the only one pushing the rock up the hill?

I would love to hear from anyone who has transitioned from solo to a team, or even those who decided to stay solo and found a way to make it sustainable.
