When your team is collectively burning out but afraid to admit it

Our startup team of four has been working together for two years and we're all burning out but in different ways and nobody wants to be the first one to say they need a break. We keep pushing each other to maintain this unsustainable pace because we're afraid of letting the group down but I think we're actually making each other worse.
